Sound System Lyrics - Cherry Poppin Daddies

Sound system won't you bring me back up 

It's the one thing that I can depend on... 

Try to describe to the limit of my ability 

It's there a second and then it's given up what it used to be 

Contained in music somehow more than just sound 

The inspiration coming and it's twisting things around 

Because--You always know that it's gonna have to go 

You always know that you'll be back in the cold 

Point of departure sublimated in a song 

It's always coming to give me that hope for just a second then it's gone but-- 

Sound system won't you bring me back up 

It's the one thing that I can depend on.... 

Static pulse inside of music bringing us escape 

It's always temporary, changing nothing in its wake 

Just a second where we're leaving all this shit behind 

Just a second but it's leaving just this much in mind: 

To resist despair, that second makes you see 

To resist despair, you can't change everything 

To resist despair in this world is--what it is, what it is, what it is to be free 

Sound system won't you bring me back up 

It's the one thing that I can depend on... 

Sound! System! 

Sound! System! 

Wake up turn my box on bust the shade and let the sun in 

Times getting tougher 'bout time to start runnin' 

Box in my hand, music by my side 

Swingin' to the rhythm of the music by side 

Sound system won't you bring me back up 

It's the one thing that I can depend on... 

Sound! System! 

Sound! System!
