Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's test the theory one more time
Designed to blow the youths their mind
Test the theory one more time, rewind
Let's test the dub plates one more time
Designed to blow the youths their mind
[Voice sample:] "Rewind boss"
Let's test the theory one more time
Designed to blow the youths their mind
Test the theory one more time, rewind
Let's test the dub plates one more time
Designed to blow the youths their mind
Test the dub plates one more time, rewind
Coming to a town near you
Experimental sounds is due
Sucking in the atmosphere
Can you feel the ?? here
Pointing out the chosen few
A thousand ways that I have tried
A million ways to stay alive
Hey
[Voice sample:] "Rewind boss"
Let's test the theory one more time
Designed to blow the youths their mind
Test the theory one more time, rewind
Let's test the dub plates one more time
Designed to blow the youths their mind
Test the dub plates one more time, rewind
[Voice sample:] "This is a test"
Everything you know is a lie
The temperature it burns inside
A potion with a mass appeal
Scientists of what you feel
Will you still believe your mind?
A thousand lies that I've been sold
A million lies that I've been told
Hey
[Voice sample:] "Rewind boss"
Let's test the theory one more time
Designed to blow the youths their mind
Test the theory one more time, rewind
Let's test the dub plates one more time
Designed to blow the youths their mind
Test the dub plates one more time, rewind
