The System Lyrics by Context

Stealing My Older Brother’s Tapes EP

0

[Hook: The Prodigy (Sampled) x2]
We must rip up the soundsystem
We must rip up the soundsystem
We must rip up the soundsystem
We must rip up the soundsystem
[Verse 1: Context]
A cathedral placed in a basement
Embrace the amazement
Strobe lights, wave your hand
In front of your face and know that your awakening's nascent
City nights when your life's rural
Live lavishly frugal
Pot Noodles and bugle, youth who
Can't find identity via Google
And this won't be forever
Let's Desert Eagle hand to whoever's next
We're not in Hethersett
Shared this with my best mates yes
That I've never met
[Pre-Hook: Context]
Spilling out in a proud diction
Feel the bass as it pounds, listen
So in deep underground Britain
We must rip up the soundsystem
[Hook x4]
[Verse 2: Context]
Wear new trainers raving?
Schoolboy error, blatant
Sweat cascading, blame raves to bass
For my lack of savings, indulged my cravings
Adulthood makes you compromise
That's why we're out lost at night
Escaping what we're boxed inside
It's how you think when you're ostricised
Gully, loaded, posh or dole
Light it up, stop, drop and roll
Sober or gone boshed a load
This is England, feel it
Fish and chip shop rock and roll
[Pre-Hook]
[Hook x4]
[Bridge: Context x2]
Smudged stamps on my hand
Smudged stamps on my hand
Smudged stamps on my hand
Wristband, satisfied demand
[Link: Context]
We must rip up the soundsystem
Freeing you when the crowd lifts them
Bring together avowed distance
Lend your ears, let the sound christen
[Pre-Hook]
[Hook x4]
[Outro: Context]
This is England, feel it
This is England, feel it
This is England, feel it
Fish and chip shop rock and roll
