Asian Dub Foundation - Collective Mode lyrics

Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zaman For every opportunity we squeeze de last drop Seeds sown inna de past and now we're reaping de crop Yer, spreading de roots an we're no longer under-ground Those dat turned away are now turning around Homebeats and high-hats mightier than de sword Version excursions an breaks from abroad Too many secret histories dat have never been told Reveal hidden agendas Remove de blindfold Examine de story before you tek de stage Unscramble freaktalk displayed pon de front page Frequency flashing synchronised like strobe Can't do it alone you need to get into de collective mode Need to get into de collective mode We're taking note of every brand new sound Keeping our minds open Cor we know we're future bound Together we must recognise the signs of our times Together we must learn to read between the lines Make your own programme No bother become digital captive You need some audio So you must be active Get into collective mode Spirits become positive You live de life you love An you love the life you give No-one is an island whether you like it or not All inna di same boat which is about to be rocked Warning light flashing synchronised like strobe Can't do it alone you need to get into de collective mode Do you spend too much time living inside your head Worry too much about what the other man said Need to pay heed to dis sonic reflection Turn dis disconnection into interconnection And get into de collective mode
