Sound Check
Murder By Ska Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Testing one two three can you hear me now
Let the sound waves flow, let the music wow
In the heart of speakers, let the beats ignite
We're always ready to rock, let's set this night alight

The subwoofers play, we can never explain
Through the highs and lows,we will forget the pain
The clarity of sound every note is clear
When we all dance, we have nothing to fear

Ooooooooeeeeeooo, this is a system check
Ooooooooeeeeeooo, you can always relax
Ooooooooeeeooo, let's us dance and play
Oooooooeeeoooo, let the music sway

Testing one two three, guide us through the night
Blending beats, melodies going up to flight
The sound systems heart is pounding strong and true
Uniting us all, dancing with the groove

Ooooooooeeeeeooo, this is a system check
Ooooooooeeeeeooo, you can always relax




Ooooooooeeeooo, let's us dance and play
Oooooooeeeoooo, let the music sway
