Jay Burnett - Drum Machine lyrics

1, 2 Come listen to the sound of MCA I'm not a DJ but I've got some records to play I'm the techno wizard of shay town And the tenor of my voice is a trademarked sound Now the beat pounds on, the sound's real strong And I could probably keep rappin 'til the break of dawn And while the drum machine plays on and on And it doesn't stop playin' 'til the world is gone Now Burzootie's on the mix most of the time He works all the machines but he doesn't really rhyme Moves slides, fader, programs, drum beats Plays his records in the place to be So when you hear that sound of the drum machine It's MCA and Burzootie we're a musical team When time began people played the drums They did for money and they did for fun They did it for s** and they did it for fame All kinds of music where the beat's the same Now there's a thing called the drum machine You don't need good rhythm to sound real mean Quantize a beat through the tempo control To make good music the inevitable goal With a VCO and a VCA You might add on some digital delay in the mix Use tricks And if it don't sound good it can still be fixed Attenuate the sound as it comes in The meter's in the red or it may sound thin Flange overdrive, distortion guitar Turn the sound up loud so the sound sounds hard Lexicon, Space Station, AMS Delayed loop systems that sound the best Pitch the tone, synthesizer, increase the noise Turnin' small dials on electronic toys They're like simulators, get your dope generators With the MIDI on the system, the great penetrators With the DMX, replace the chip In order to bust with a Simmons kick You can burn your own chip with your personal sound That'll make the hard rock b boys wanna get down Electronic machines that make electric boogie funk B boys get loose when the drum beats go like this
