Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)
One thing that I can depend on
Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)
One thing that I can depend on

Try to describe to the limit of my ability:
Its there for a second
Then it's given up what it used to be

Contained in music somehow more than just sound
This [bad word] and twisting things around

Because you always know that it's gonna have to go
You always know that you'll be back in the cold.
Point of departure sublimated in a song
Its [bad word] to give me that hope for just a second
Then it's gone, but!

Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)
One thing that I can depend on
Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)
One thing that I can depend on

Static pulse inside of music bringing us escape.
Its always temporary, changing nothing in its wake...
Just a second where we're leaving all this [bad word] behind
Just a second but its leaving just this much in mind:

To resist despair, that second makes you see
To resist despair, because you can't change everything
To resist despair, in this world is 

What it is
What it is
What it is to be free

Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)
One thing that I can depend on
Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)
One thing that I can depend on

hu hu hu hu
Pick it up (x8)
Sound System

Sound!
System!

Sound!
System!

Wake up turn my box on
Bust the shade, let the sun in
Times getting tougher 'bout time to [bad word] 
Box in my hand music by my side
Skankin' to the rhythm of the music by my side

Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)
One thing that I can depend on
Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)
One thing that I can depend on

Sound system gonna bring me back up (right!)
One thing that I can depend on
Sound system gonna bring me back up (yea!)
One thing that I can depend on

Sound!
System!

Sound!
System!
