Asian Dub Foundation - Dhol Rinse lyrics

Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier Striking out from Pakistan 'desh and India Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier Every beat is a blow for all ya Faster than a bullet louder than a bomb Against divisions of religion, the world's in its song Old times, new times, it is the soundtrack Radical tradition, it ain't never lookin' back Carved out of nature roots deeper than deep Original communicator speaking with the beat India, Sri Lanka desh and Pakistan One nation, one people One it's time to make a stand and bang Rise up the soldier them and bang Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier Striking out from Pakistan 'desh and India Warring dhol of the Bhanghra soldier Rise up the soldier them and bang Living in the heart of the city life is raw sometimes Dealer here, copper there, hooker here Don't ever look 'em int the eyes Another youth is hot down better cut and run But then then you hear the secret message Hidden in the beat of the drum and it goes Feel the drum is everything to you Listen can't you it talking to you Feel it from the valleys and rivers flowin' under you Feel it as keeps on pounding through pounding through It is the sound hallowed ground, it marks it out and plays it loud It belongs to everybody, it's the rhythm of the crowd
