Collective Mode Lyrics - Singles - Asian Dub Foundation

Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zaman 

For every opportunity we squeeze de last drop 

Seeds sown inna de past and now we're reaping de crop 

Yer, spreading de roots an we're no longer under-ground 

Those dat turned away are now turning around 

Homebeats and high-hats mightier than de sword 

Version excursions an breaks from abroad 

Too many secret histories dat have never been told 

Reveal hidden agendas 

Remove de blindfold 

Examine de story before you tek de stage 

Unscramble freaktalk displayed pon de front page 

Frequency flashing synchronised like strobe 

Can't do it alone you need to get into de collective mode 

Need to get into de collective mode 

We're taking note of every brand new sound 

Keeping our minds open 

Cor we know we're future bound 

Together we must recognise the signs of our times 

Together we must learn to read between the lines 

Make your own programme 

No bother become digital captive 

You need some audio 

So you must be active 

Get into collective mode 

Spirits become positive 

You live de life you love 

An you love the life you give 

No-one is an island whether you like it or not 

All inna di same boat which is about to be rocked 

Warning light flashing synchronised like strobe 

Can't do it alone you need to get into de collective mode
