Lyrics

Alarm Call (Gangsta)

[Intro]

Alarm call

Alarm call

Alarm call

Alarm call

Alarm call

[Verse 1]

I have walked this earth

And watched people

I can be sincere

And say I like them

[Refrain]

[Gibberish]

(Alarm call)

You can't say no to hope

Can't say no to happiness

[Chorus]

I want to go on a mountain top

With a radio and good batteries

And play a joyous tune and

Free the human race

From suffering

[Verse 2]

I'm no fucking buddhist

But this is enlightenment

The less room you give me

The more space I've got

[Refrain]

[Gibberish]

You can't say no to hope

Can't say no to happiness

[Chorus]

I want to be on a mountain top

With a radio and good batteries

And play a joyous tune and

Free the human race

From suffering

[Outro]

This is an alarm call

So wake up, wake up now

Alarm call

Alarm call

Alarm call (Ooh)

Alarm call

Alarm call

Alarm call (Ooh)

Alarm call

Alarm call

Alarm call

[Gibberish]

Ooh
