The Big A.C.

Who ever thought that standing here would be a waste of time?

You said, "We'll go to a place where no one's heard

That you dance to the music, not just the words

And we lose ourselves in clumsy footwork

And any way you like is fine"

But from all that I can see

There don't seem to be no one lookin' at me

We're just a mixed-bag minority

Sayin', come and have a listen to the old sound system

Where

You're not gonna hear the same old songs

And the lights won't be blinding your eyes

You'll be taking a ride on a brand new tide

With no fear of being cut down to size

And you said, "The soul in this room, it will fill you up"

And the 45's spinnin' say, "Please don't stop that beat"

Well, that's how you've made it for me

And this ultimate underground

Is where we pass initiation to the new street sound

Approved by strangers stranger than your strangest dreams

And like it or not, we're now part of the scene

With an influence on fashion

Oh, I never thought I'd fall in love this fast

I guess we're just the kind of people who make this thing last

We've made it our goal to be saving the soul

And you know, when you're on the right track

You're not gonna hear the same old songs

And the lights won't be blinding your eyes

You'll be taking a ride on a brand new tide

With no fear of being cut down to size

And you said, "The soul in this room, it will fill you up"

As the 45's spinnin' say, "Please don't stop that beat"

Well, that's how you've made it for

Ain't no doubt that

I'm so proud that

I'm here next to you

And J.J.'s at the back door screamin', "Please let me in"

Don's running late, yelling, "Come on, train"

And Curtis, he always put words in my mouth

So wherever you lead, I will follow you right to the end

You're not gonna hear the same old songs

And the lights won't be blinding your eyes

You'll be taking a ride on a brand new tide

With no fear of being cut down to size

And you said, "The soul in this room, it will fill you up"

And the 45's spin, just confirm what I already knew

That I only wanna be like you, yeah
