Generate meaning
1
For the consciousness of the nation
2
The sounds of the Asian dub foundation:
3
The music we make it cuts across borders
4
We never make music to someone else's orders
5
Plenty of issues on the agenda
6
If you want to lend a helping hand
7
You're always told to shut up and dance
8
But you have to change this-take a chance
9
Turn the tables,
10
We know you're able
11
Don't just consume
12
Make your own tune.
13
The music, we use it
14
We're making a stand
15
I wouldn't call this a green and pleasant land
16
A conscious response is what we demand
17
Challenge the system and those in command
18
Express your opinion
19
It's your domain
20
If you fail to do this you are partly to blame
21
My heart is beating
22
No retreat
23
The battle continues
24
We'll suffer no defeat
25
This war you've been waging
26
It's time we were raging
27
In our minds and on the streets
28
Sample this it's an education
29
The sounds of the Asian dub foundation
30
Look around you, yeah
31
Open your mind
32
Check it out, tell me what you find
33
Here to document a situation
34
The sounds of the Asian dub foundation
35
Hope and glory
36
A myth of the Tories
37
We're here to tell you a different story
38
Here to redress the situation
39
The sounds of the Asian dub foundation
40
A rapper I may be but packaged I'm not
41
I'll slip through the noose before you tie the knot
42
This work in progress not slick but rough
43
Breaking all records twelve inches ain't enough
44
Sample this
45
It's an education
46
The sounds of the original, the original
47
We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic
48
The only 'e' we use is electric
49
An Asian background that's what's reflected
50
But this militant vibe ain't what you expected
51
With your liberal minds you patronize our culture
52
Scanning the surface like vultures
53
With your tourist mentality
54
We're still the natives
55
You multicultural but we're anti-racist
56
We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic
57
The only 'e' we use is electric
58
And we cry
59
Them coulda never escape
60
Disya judgement
