Sitcom 03:46
Turn up the radio I need to shout a little something just to make you go away Out of my head it hurts You light my fire but I’ve already been burned Took a shot, laid it on the line And now I’m in the dirt telling myself I’ll be fine So crank up that fighting sound I’ve got a lot to purge, got some anger to be drowned My city is burning down You lit it up to watch it as it melted to the ground There’s a snake under your disguise You’ve got the good guy charm but the apathetic eyes I can’t take your broadcast act You’re like a sitcom story line falling off the track I don’t need your temptation Music gets me through, yeah the sound’s my salvation. I’ve got it pounding in my stereo Ready set here we go Turn the channel, grab the handle Can’t take it anymore ‘Cause it’s a ugly and a bloody world I can’t face it but I gotta know Are you ready for rocksteady Revolution is on the air! To get away I hit the streets I see you in the pavement, in the metal and concrete Rebel rebel, you were born to run An emancipated spirit aimed and loaded like a gun Streets pass by the train Strummer narrates the righteous anger and the pain People shuffle through a broken world With beauty in its cracks and horror in its gold (Chorus) I don’t know what I need to find The answer to a question with an idea too sublime For me to ever know So I hit play and I just let myself go ‘Cause music is more than sound It’s a fuel, it’s a message, yeah it’s something more profound It defines who I am And when I get lost I just put it on again (Chorus)

He’s got a gun, he’s got a knife The Devil’s gonna lead him to the light ‘Cause mom wasn’t there, dad didn’t care The world chose his fate, tell me is it fair When it’s chasing us in circles Just like predator and prey Well if they won’t give me any voice Then what’s there left to say? She’s got a love, she’s got a life Their hopes and dreams are gonna lead her to the light But when they burn, she’s gotta fly She know’s where she’s going but she doesn’t know why With a life that’s like a guessing game And a fate paved in concrete Even when we’re stuck to hopes and dreams Are we ever free? What’cha gonna do When they’re coming after you And the night’s always hunting the sun What’cha gonna say When they take your voice away When the bullet’s in the gun You better take it and run He needs to go, he needs to breathe To run away, feel the pavement on his feet He’s giving in, the inevitable won’t wait Tonight's the night that he seals his fate Well it’s coming up again now Just like smoke out of a gun But if he can’t control what he can’t know How far can he run? (Chorus) Tear in her eye, tear in her heart She rides the bus to keep from falling all apart She needs a pulse, to feel alive When he pulls the gun she sees death in his eyes Now he doesn’t want no trouble He just needs it to survive But when he pulls the trigger Well, fate takes him alive (Chorus)
