We’re So sharp we never stumble, so hot that we're making bubbles Setting lights to stages until the whole town begins to crumble Then we shovel up the rubble, bring the trouble, we aint even subtle Make a monkey out of you bring the bass to the rumble Go deep like a dracula, soaring over nebulas To suns in mass, inject the stars to get so many heads to mars Aliens in jars and flying cars with decks to boost the gas Robotic eyes with cameras see the native barks to heed the sharks Feed the dark and aid the fight against the mass To represent then to repress, dont get depressed, we'll win by the end Nature comes back home to vent To see the mass in retrospect Is to reflect say we must not let this ever happen again
CHORUS Let it get brighter, let it get brighter, don’t turn the light right down Don’t turn the light right down x2
So we take string puppets cut the strings and then shove it Am a fros of liars – who have shut them minds and made muppets So stop it, love it, rise above it, rough it, all standing tougher Give it back to every rapper who was trapped made to suffer Enough of this, enough of politics, enough of the oppressed Enough of the hopeless, yeah why do they mess, why should they confess That they bleed, they come they come to test, they kill, repress And they molest, tell that they have trapped the leading best and put to rest Many dead presidents Do it for the love, they don’t do to for unity They don’t do it for the peace and they don’t do it to be funny They never do it for the righteous for days to be sunny for everybody All they care and do it for is the money When they patter their feet, to come near, greet talk sweet About what they’ll do for you if you listen and follow we For they’ll reel you in their speech dripping in deceit so pay heed When they take your soul they don’t give out receipts.
Chorus
Suddenly you’re the ones whose guilty, complicit in the violence Across many border in countries where you’re paid to cause a blighting To proceed in silence, paid in muddy diamonds as you’re coffers rising Accept your fate when there is nobody left smiling What under the world has the money man found Mining diamonds and putting bodies in the ground Stone colders left lying around Who wins yeah when the fire dies down Not even the one with a thumb on the gun Not even the ones who are left a few crumbs Not by the hairs on your tommy tum tum Hear the rising of the Babylon hum
Let it get brighter, let it get brighter, don’t turn the light right down, don’t turn the light right down.
