The Beat

I wonder wonder why
Why can’t people hear the beat
Wonder wonder why
It’s a revolution beat

Can’t you hear the beat – can’t you - can’t you
Can’t you hear the beat
I want to question what it’s all about
I want to know what’s behind those lies
I want it straight no room for doubt

I want to know what’s behind those cold steel eyes

Can’t you hear – hear the beat (4x)

I say my life is mine - people take it from me
Mine all mine - are they too blind to see?
I say now’s the time – people listen to me
Now’s the time to stand up and be seen

Can’t you feel the beat - don’t you want to move your feet?

Can’t you feel the beat – get up on your feet (2x)

I wonder wonder why
Why can’t people hear the beat
Wonder wonder why
It’s a revolution beat

Can’t you hear the beat, that intoxicating beat
It’s a revolution revolution revolution beat

Lyrics by Ralph Franklin 1987
