For the consciousness of the nation    Sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation:    The music we make    It cuts across borders    We never make music to someone else's orders    Plenty of issues on the agenda if you want to lend a helping hand    We’re always told to shut up and dance    But you have to change this - take a chance    Turn the tables,    We know you're able    Don't just consume    Make your own tune.    The music, we use it    We're making a stand    I wouldn't call this a green and pleasant land    A conscious response is what we demand    Challenge the system and those in command    Express your opinion    It's your domain    If you fail to do this    You are partly to blame    My heart is beating    No retreat    The battle continues    We'll suffer no defeat    This war you've been waging    It's time we were raging    In our minds    And on the streets    Sample this    It's an education    The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation.    Look around you, yeah    Open your mind    Check it out    Tell me what you find    Here to document the situation    The sounds of the original, the original...    Hope and glory    A myth of the tories    We're here to tell you a different story    Here to readdress the situation    The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation.    A rapper I May be    But packaged I'm not    I'll slip through the noose before you tie the knot    This work in progress not slick but rough    Breaking all records    Twelve inches ain't enough    Sample this It's an education    The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation...    We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic    The only 'e' we use is electric    An Asian background    That's what's reflected    But this militant vibe ain't what you expected    With your liberal minds    You patronize our culture    Scanning the surface like vultures    With your tourist mentality    we're still the natives    You're multicultural but we're anti-racist    We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic    The only 'e' we use is electric.    And we cry    them coulda never escape Disya judgment...
