Flyover, Flyover
Sing! Flyover, Flyover
Chance! Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Sing! Flyover, Flyover
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Chance! Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Sing! Flyover, Flyover

Mr.Chance met your products and get out of my way,
There ain't enough hours in my day,
The cities on fire in the pouring rain,
seem as life is faster than a run-a-way train,
Hit the buzzer da da shi shi for computers ab da shi, the bloody turf wanna me to find a new chief,
And get beding the wheel-a-way, never going home,
Speeding and sliding inside the transit zone

Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Flyover, Flyover
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Flyover, Flyover
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured

Speeding through the heebies about 20 percent, watcha red between a buty and a innocent,
Rubbing shoulders with a su-su-super classic engine, burning out the ura and salt cans and tank,
Choking up a land of fire smoking up the air, some days you rather be anywhere but here,
Choking up a land of fire smoking up the air, some days you rather be anywhere but here

Sing! Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Flyover, Flyover,
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Flyover

Ooh, the city is blind but it will not slow down, the try for destruction is the heaviest sound,
The city is blind but it will not slow down, the try for destruction is the heaviest sound,
Is the heaviest sound, is the heaviest sound,
Flyover, flyover,
Is the heaviest sound,
Flyover, flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,

Shift to the underworld and it's another story, as the sales surround you with positive energy,
As the baseline ba da ba da be da be agree activity
I said you know this is the place to be, You know it's always been the place to be, you know it's always been the place to be,
I said you know this is the place to be,
I got dem, got dem longdisady

Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Flyover, Flyover
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Don't wanna be down in the station in the stroke of midnight, nobody wanna go where there's plenty of light,
Asking for direction when I'm tired of a way, you know there's never time, you know there's never been a powers in the day,
You know there's never been a powers in the day, in the day, in the day,
The city is blind but it will not slow down, the try for destruction is the heaviest sound

See their eyes see their lies
Unelected rejected it don't matter anyway
See their smile read their file
By hook or by crook they always find their way
Still at the bottom of the learning curve
Maybe got the leaders that we deserve
Bitin the burger makes our brains get smaller
Waistlines getting larger we wanna make it harder
We gotta be as hungry as they are
We gotta be as hungry as they are
Get hungry get angry get hungry and take back the power
Put your fist in the air rebels here and everywhere
Do we rise do we fall are we playing truth or dare
Time dem tought
Justice rough
A million on the streets don't seem to be enough
Taken for a ride way down inside
Livin rent free within your mind Mercanary military use everything they got
Coup d'état make us pay for every shot
Believe the world they show breathe the air they blow
Losing sense of what i know is real and what is not
We gotta be as hungry as they are
We gotta ba as hungry as they are
Get hungry get angry and take back the power
Put your fist in the air rebels here and everywhere
Do we rise do we fall are we playing truth or dare .

Step Forward Youth
At The Moment Of Truth
Don't Be Distracted
Don't Be The Fool.
Step Forward Youth
At The Moment Of Truth
Go Beyond The Senses
Get A Clear View

When You're Deafened By The Sound Of Betrayal
And There's No One Left To Trust
Falling Off The End Of The Scale
You Carry On Because You Must

When You're Down To The Last Of Your Senses
And The Pain Is Brokin' Out Of Thoughts
Somehow You've Got To Pull Yourself Together,
You've Got To Make Good Of All The Things, You've Been Taught

When You're Deafened By The Sound Of Betrayal
And There's No One Left To Trust
Falling Off The End Of The Scale
You Carry On Because You Must

Just When They Think It's All Over
Just When You Think You're Falling Back In Line
Maybe Just A Small Word To A Young Child
Maybe Just A Moment Of Peace, In Your Mind

when you hear the march of the drum
you know they're gonna blot out the sun
when you hear the marching drum
you know your time soon come
hammer coming down fast
flag is flaying full mast
shield your eyes from the blast
you know it won't be the last
it's a round-up it's a round up
riffle butts through the door
then you're kicked to the floor
headlines screaming for more
now you're a prisoner of war in the round-up it's a round up
this is a count-down to the crackdown
time to take a little trip downtown (it's a round up)
get in the lineup there ain't no let up
this is a bona fide a government stick up(it's a round-up)
from the fit up straight to the lock up
through the touchup and the drug up to the rough up it's just start up
so watch it speed up it ain't enogh to just put-up and shut-up DIS IS A ROUND-UP
shining boots of leather
mind at the end of the tether charges cobbled together
the sentence is forever it's a round up it's a round up
stone floor for a bed with a hood on the head helicopters overhead maybe i'm already dead
it's a round up this is a round up
when you hear dem march of the drum you know they're gonna blot out the sun
when you hear the marching drum you know your time soon come
your time soon come
dem come for de rasta and you say nothing
dem come from the muslims you say nothing
dem come for the anti-globalist you ay nothing
dem even come for the liberals and you say nothing
dem come for you and will speak for you? who will speak for you
this is countdown to the crackdown time to take a little trip downtown (it's a round up)
get in the lineup there ain't no let-up this bona fide government stic up (it's a round up)
from the fit straigh to the lock-up through the touchup and the drug up to the rhough
it's just a start up so watch it speed up it ain't enough to just put-up and shut-up
DIS IS A ROUND-UP

The Krikati Indians of Brazil knocking out power in the cities
lighter watch the fire grow
surprise fighters delivering a body blow
Original Krikati Junglists coming with the fire this time
Original Krikati Junglists
underground resistance knocking out powerlines coming with the fire this time

Who runs this place

First sign of madness you talk yourself second sign of madness yoursef talks back
First sign of madness you talk yourself second sign of madness yoursef talks back
please select the following option is no longer an option
select the following option means you have no option
i'm shouting out loud with the rest of the shower
shaking our fists in vain down the corridors of power
been queuening and queuening for god know how many hours
outside the tent pissing in for this long man it's downer
they say the buck stops here but if it does i never see it
following the fingers poiting opposite directions i lost it
took me a week to see the boss to learn that he's not in charge
a 1000 people said they could so that one could say they can't
and i see vast quantities of people without a face
i don't now who runs this place
i don't now who runs this place
tell me how high i gotta go all the way from God to the devil below
before i get to want i really now wanna know
and i wanna know WHO RUN DA PLACE?
the figures are wrong the network's knackered
cashpoint is kaput and me nerves are shaterred
you have an infinite choice over the things that doesn't matter
one elite or two more Thatcherite than Thatcher
in a race to the death with a white van man i admit defeat i'm the man with no plan
watch a vampire a poodle a chat show host with a tan
try to squeeze into a 3 second attetion span
and i stick two fingers up into outer space
i don't know who runs this place i don;t know who runs this place
tell me how high i gotta go all the way from God to the devil below
before i get to want i really wanna know and i wanna know
WHO RUN DA PLACE?
prime minister of chancellor television or newspaper
foreign banks or backhanders?
traffic wardens or arms dealers
lizardmen or aliens
mondeo man or estate agents
presidanecy or illuminati
one thing i know it ain't you or me
they mus never succeed in turning us into them

The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round.
How many megatons will it take to make them turn around? (x 2)

Turn around...

The wheels of the Shadowmen tank (x 2)

Every man is left behind
Every man has lost his mind
Exorcists anthologize
Bounce to the Shadownmen tank
Another missle flying high
Snaking across the desert sky
Oil men energy strapped back
Speed into the bank

The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round.
How many megatons will it take to make them turn around?

Too slow cup with gripping hands
Praying cowboys in the sand
Nothing ever goes to plan
Deep inside me tank
Shells you booty devil's plants
Tripping out another trance
Buffalo soldier's higher ground
Smoking in my tank
Forced by forces
My head is confused
Sometimes I feel that I'm being used
I press all fault to the man in robes
But I can't see the ghosts crowding the road

I can't see the ghosts crowding the road

The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round.
How many megatons will it take to make them turn around?

Awaken Mesopotamia (x 4)

Never left old home city Georgia
World is just called Arizona
Death metal getting louder and louder
Pumping pumping in me tank

Searching, searching
I be searching!
Keep on searching
Searching for the Hindu bomb
I'm searching for the Muslim bomb
I'm on the lookout for the suicide bomb
Get down on your knees and feign-quest for the bomb

Because I'm searching for the Hindu bomb
I'm searching for the Muslim bomb
I'm still on the lookout for the suicide bomb
Get on your knees, get on your knees
And feign-quest for the bomb

For the bomb

The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round.
How many megatons will it take to make them turn around?

How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
(We want your oil)
(We want your oil)
The villages are mined the contract's been signed
we'll tell you one more time
(We want your oil)
Supply no longer guranteed we demand security
Running out of Texas tea
(We want your oil)
Children of the CIA we want somewhere new to play
Better get right out the way
(We want your oil)
Civilisation birth nerve centre of the earth
Welcome to our new turf
(We want your oil)
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this ?
Smart bomb with more brains than the President
Blipping and bleeping as they target residents
Of market squares and hospital wards King rat is safe in the wings of the hawk
While King rat is safe in the wings of the hawk
Watch me now
Beat seeking missile gonna blast yer mind out
Bomb for peace I'm gonna burn your eyes out
I'm covering my ears don't wanna receive it
I'm trembling in fear say me can't belive it
Inspector defector arms dealer revealer
Document leaker over here Mr.Speaker
A spin refugee like Mohammed Ali
Me say no Iraqi ever called me Paki
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
A secret never to be told always to be sold
Digging out the Black gold
(We want your oil)
Petro junkies must be fed Going Barefoot in the head
It's S.U.V's with warheads (We want your oil)
Tearing up formalities there is no neutrality
Welcome to reality (We want your oil)
Ignore treates line by line Litte countries fall behind
The lunatics will lead the blind (We want your oil)
The lunatics will the blind
How did we get to this load?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this load?
How did we get to this?

(Thanks Shigeru for these lyrics)

Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier
striking out from Pakistan 'desh and india
warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier
every beat is a blow for al ya
faster than a bullet loudr than a bomb
against divisions of religion the World;s is in its song
old times new times it is the soundtrack
radical tradition it ain;t never lookin' back
carved out of nature roots deeper than deep
original communicator speaking with the beat
India Sri Lanka desh and Pakistan
one nation one people one it's time to make a stand and bang
rise up the soldier them and bang
Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier
striking out from Pakistan 'desh and india
warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier
rise up the soldier them and bang
living in the heart of the city life is raw sometimes
dealer here copper there hooker here don't ever look 'em int the eyes
another youth is hot dwon bettter cut and run
bu then then you hear the secret message hidden in the beat of the drum
and it goes
feel the drum is everything to you
listen can't you it talking to you
feel it from the valleys and rivers flowin under you
feel it as keeps on pounding through POUNDING THROUGH
it is the sound hallowed ground it marks it out and plays it loud
it belongs to everybody it's the rhytm of the crowd

I know a place not so far
where no government holds saw
where no Prime Minister is given the time of day
where the people demand to have a say
and they say tommorow begins today
so i know i have to find a way
i'm leaving today
to where fences may bar my way
where my imagination
can be lead a stray
tomorrow begins today

(Instrumental)
