Asian Dub Foundation – Box lyrics

Written by: das, savale, pandit, zaman

See me, hear me
But still you try to box me in
You think you know my mind by the colour of my skin
See me, hear me
But still you try to box me in
You think you know my mind by the colour of my skin

Adf back with a lyrical death threat
With you ignorant attitudes what the fuck did you expect?
We'll mash up your stereo with a typical body blow
Asian distortion
Better tread it with caution
Better treat it with caution...
Eyes permanently closed
You tell me everything's alright
Chemical escape
You're desensitised
Sitting cross-legged with your joss sticks and your flutes
Just taking and faking what's easy:
No respect for our roots

See me, hear me
But still you try to box me in
You think you know my mind be the colour of my skin

Adf back with a lyrical death threat
With you ignorant attitudes what the fuck did you expect?
We'll mash up your stereo with a typical body blow
Asian distortion
Better tread it with caution
Better treat it with caution...

Many noises and voices
And messages in the blender
Yes I speak out to many
Cause it's a bigger agenda
But preach to the converted is what you say we do
Show them to me man
I don't see them, do you? ....

Everbody talking man
They're now talking about
Say it's the junglistic sound
That is coming around
And if you choosa di sound
And a fuse a it down
From top to bottom create your own obsession
Master deeder- that is my name
And I'm kicking all the way
All the way for the fame
We four brothers- one of a kind
Like no other you will find

Millitant scientists
Yes, that's what we are
No we're never gonna be laid back
Too busy dodging your attack
Adf here to kick your arse again
We'll give you bass in your face
And we're gonna offend
Peace!

See me, hear me
But still you try to box me in
You think you know my mind by the colour of my skin
See me, hear me
But still you try to box me in
You think you know my mind by the colour of my skin

Adf back with a lyrical death threat
With you ignorant attitudes what the fuck did you expect?
We'll mash up your stereo with a typical body blow
Asian distortion
Better tread it with caution
Better treat it with caution...

See me, hear me
But still you try to box me in
You think you know my mind by the colour of my skin
See me, hear me
But still you try to box me in
You think you know my mind by the colour of my skin....
