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
   You'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 patronise 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 judgement...
