Overloaded Truck

(album: A Matter Of Scale - 2015)

Tonight we're gonna play with the sound
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound

At 8 o'clock we rent a truck
At 10 o'clock we load up the truck:
Boxes, wires, and amplifiers
MC, operator, and selectors
Ninety kilometers per hour
Overloaded truck we can't go faster
Co-pilot tries to read the map
While the other try to have a nap
7 hours, 8 minutes later
We reach the venue near a shopping center
After checking the promoter
We unload the truck in a different order:
Amplifiers, wires, and boxes
We place the stacks in a perfect axis
We plug the wires, we strap the stacks
Turn in on: soundcheck and we play the tracks

Tonight we're gonna play with the sound
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound

At 10 PM they open doors
We warm it up, we open beers
Total roadblock at 1 o' clock
[?] we talk and we rock
Everybody jump and friends sing and dance
Wouldn't play track, by any change
Well we wanna test fresh dubplates tonight
Open your ears, it is gonna be alright, alright

Tonight we're gonna play with the sound
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound

At 4 o'clock we dismantle the stacks
At 5 o'clock we load up the truck:
Boxes, wires, and amplifiers
MC, operator, and hangovers
Ninety kilometers per hour
Overloaded truck we can't go faster
Nobody tries to read the map
Everybody is having a nap
7 hours, 8 minutes later
We unload the truck in a different order:
Amplifiers, wires, and boxes
Amplifiers, wires, and boxes
Amplifiers, wires, and boxes
Amplifiers, wires, and boxes

Tonight we're gonna play with the sound, ay-ay-ay, prum-prum
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound, ay-ay-ay, prum-prum
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound, ay-ay-ay, prum-prum
Tonight we're gonna play with the sound, ay-ay-ay
