[Verse 1]
This is the sound of
Someone switching the sound off
Cause they're fed up off having orders barked at em
By b**hes and hound dogs
They're all about the peace and quiet
Stress-free, less beef than a vegan diet
Unwilling to hear that type of noise at any time of day
Sick of fleeing it but still avoiding it like the plague
The world gets deafening
They fill their filters with the words that they're meant to hear
Now everything's perfectly engineered
To sound superb when it enters ears
[Pre-Chorus]
Reality's a loud affair
They'll do everything in their power to get out of there
Drowning out the sound by letting my album blare
While doing crazy things like swimming naked in the fountain on Trafalgar Square
[Chorus]
Isn't it funny how far they'll go
Just to show they're not listening to anything they don't want to hear
Isn't it funny how far they'll go
Just to show they don't give a sh** about anything they want us to fear
[Verse 2]
They get around town with a carefree bop
While kids get patted down by unfriendly cops
Pigs claiming there's d**, telling naughty porkies
Knowing that the only crack'll come from their walkie-talkies
And as the coppers radio for backup
They don't stop, they turn the radios back up
And reflect, cause that's the only way they won't crack up
Broken mirrors can create a load of bad luck
They still wanna get ahead
Listening to what Gil Scott-Heron said
They keep the television muted
That's no place for a revolution, stupid
[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]
[Verse 3]
They resent who the leaders are
Cause even though it's rudimental to feel the love
Governments are rude and mental, don't give a f**
They blew men, women and children up
They're still doing it, a nice and honest man?
How nice can he be with a child's blood on his hands?
We thought they wanted peace, but violence was the plan
We trust k**ers like sheep, it's the silence of the lambs
They might not be around money very often
But they can hear the sound of the penny dropping
Only just cause those in politics are careless
Showing their true colours, just a lot of different yellers
[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]
