D#5 x688xx A5 57xxxx E5* 02xx3x (always strum once) [Intro] [Verse 1] If you ain’t reggae for it? Funk out! No-one knocking at your door? Funk out! Overpowered by funk? Funk out! Combatative repetitive Don’t life just funk you out? Asanine stupifying Can the clone line dry you out? [Verse 2] Part of the swarming mass? Funk out! Slugged by the new increase? Funk out! Scared of the human bomb? Funk out! Overpowered by funk? Funk out! Buy dog food rogue elephants Tarzan on a ticker tape - oooh! Breakfast serials? You know you can’t escape [Verse 3] Overpowered by funk Don’t you love our Western ways? Car crashed by funk Don’t you love our Western ways? Benny Goodman trial by jury A phone box full of books Is my name in there? Dustcarts and sunrise No one gets off the hooks [Interlude] [Chorus] Car crashed! [Interlude] * * * * [Bridge] Food for the hun-gry millions? Funk out! Home for the floating people? Funk out! [Interlude] * * * * * [Chorus] Overdrunk on - power [Interlude] [Outro] This is a message from Futura Don’t prophesize the future I liven up the culture Because I’m deadly as a vulture I paint on civilization I have this realization It’s environmentally wack So presenting my attack And I’ll brighten up your shack I’m down by law That’s a fact Just give me a wall Any building dull or tall I spray clandestine night subway I cover red purple on top of grey An’ hey no slashing ’cause it ain’t the way The T.A. blew 40 mil they say We thew down by night An’ they scrubbed it off by day (power!) OK tourists Picture frame Tickets here for the graffiti train! N.C. Funk power Over-and-out Fu-fu-fu Fu-fu fu-fu-fu (you don’t) Fu-fu fu-fu Fu-fu fu-fu Funk power! Ah! Funk power!
