A A G G D D G G
Sound system gonna bring me back up
A A G G D D G G
One thing that I can depend on
A A G G D D G G
Sound system gonna bring me back up
A A G G D D G G
One thing that I can depend on

A A
Try to describe to the limit of my ability:
G G
It's there for a second then it's given up what it used to be
D D
Contained in my music somehow more than just sound
D D
This inspiration coming and twisting things around

A A
Because you always know that it's gonna have to go
G G
You always know that you'll be back in the cold.
D D
Point of departure sublimated in a song
D D
It's always coming to give me that hope for just a second then it's gone, but


A A G G D D G G
Sound system gonna bring me back up
A A G G D D G G
One thing that I can depend on
A A G G D D G G
Sound system gonna bring me back up
A A G G D D G G
One thing that I can depend on


A A
Static pulse inside of music bringing us escape
G G
It's always temporary changing nothing in its wake
D D
Just a second where were leaving all this shit behind
G G
Just a second but it's leaving just this much in mind:

A A
To resist despair that second makes you see
G G
To resist despair because you can't change everything
D D
To resist despair in this world is
D D
What it is, what it is, what it is to be free


A A G G D D G G
Sound system gonna bring me back up
A A G G D D G G
One thing that I can depend on
A A G G D D G G
Sound system gonna bring me back up
A A G G D D G G
One thing that I can depend on

A A D D
Wake up, turn my box on, bust the shade, let the sun in
A A D D
times getting tougher 'bout time to start running
A A D D
Box in my hand, music by my side
A A
Skanking to the rhythm of the music by my side


A A G G D D G G
Sound system gonna bring me back up
A A G G D D G G
One thing that I can depend on
A A G G D D G G
Sound system gonna bring me back up
A A G G D D G G
One thing that I can depend on
