There’s a Boss Soundsystem
And it plays really loud
In the park across the street
Not for from downtown
Dread at the controls
With the steppers beat
Raggamuffin’ MC’s
Moving people’s feet
I sometimes check it out
On my way home from work
There’s a dancehall queen
In a yellow booty skirt
Spinning dub plates
And vinyl 45s
Original pressings
They will blow your static mind
All the way back to where it began
It’s the Boss Soundsystem
Don a hat, grab a toke
And you feel the rhythm
Of the Boss Soundsystem
Boss Soundsystem
Mikey Dread at the controls…
All the way back to where it began
It’s the Boss Soundsystem
Junior Murvin, King Tubby, U-Roy to Yellowman
It’s a Boss Soundsystem
Prince Buster, Upsetters, Big Youth to Capleton
It’s the Boss Soundsystem
Boss Soundsystem
Don’t stop!
Rockers keep steppin’!
Drop the needle on the wax
Faders to the max
Its a subsonic frequency blast
Junior Reid and Coxsone Dodd
To the Saxon Studios International
Sound clash!
All the way back to where it began
It’s the Boss Soundsystem
Junior Murvin, King Tubby, U-Roy to Yellowman
It’s the Boss Soundsystem
Sister Nancy, Yabby You, Burning Spear to Buju
It’s the Boss Soundsystem
Boss Soundsystem…
Don’t forget King Stitt!
…or Augustus Pablo
There’s a Boss Soundsystem
And it plays really loud
In the park across the street
Not far from downtown

Spent too much time
on the road
Of hard luck without a break
Spent too much time
on that path
More than he could take
Now they say you are
Much too old to lay it on the line
They say you are much too proud
To give it another try
So I’m counting on number one
To set the target, find the mark
Get it back to the start
This time
I’m gonna push on through
Last time
I play the fool
I know
It was a big mistake
But you got to carry on
That time
Was disarray
The stupid little things
That you say
I know it
was a big mistake
Now you got to carry on
Another story told
Of a punk rock soul
Raging through the night
Did the drugs at hand
Didn’t give a damn
Faded out of sight
Couldn’t count on number one
To light the fire or find the spark
Set the clock back to the start
CHORUS
Counting now on number one
For all these things we’ve done
Give me hope and give me heart
Get it back to the start
CHORUS
We carry, we carry
We carry on
We carry, carry
We carry on
We carry, we carry
We carry on
We carry, we carry
We carry on
