Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cut me off from the rest of the world
It's my addiction
It turns me on
It's oh so quiet at my end of the world
Ban all the music
It's all gone wrong
[Chorus]
This is, this is it
They're tryna take it from me
Got this, this is it
Won't let them take it from me
Play an illegal song
Turn it up louder
Play an illegal song
Turn it up louder
[Verse 2]
There's a buzz in the air, I've been told
It's my affliction
Been sick so long
Switching off all the noise I've been sold
Ban all the music
It's all gone wrong
[Chorus]
This is, this is it
They're tryna take it from me
Got this, this is it
Won't let them take it from me
Play an illegal song
Turn it up louder
Play an illegal song
Turn it up louder
[Chorus]
This is, this is it
They're tryna take it from me
Got this, this is it
Won't let them take it from me
Play an illegal song
Turn it up louder
Play an illegal song
