Hey World Songtext
von Michael Franti

One, two, rock

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fight

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, you′re running for the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fight

Boom, boom, there's a battle going on in this earth
Everyday, work, school, death and birth
There are 6 billion people on this earth
Can you tell me what every single life is worth?

Take a slip, look around and see history
My weapon and my method is no mystery
I didn′t come here to chill, I came here to rock
To smash the empire with my boom box


You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fight

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fight

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
On a universal mission like a meteorite
Satellite, laser beam with you in their sights
And with the PATRIOT Act they took all your right

Don't ever doubt the power of just one mind
Or the world wide power of just one rhyme
Don't ever doubt the force of the bass line
Or a record gone round to burn the house down


You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep bringing it the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fight

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, you′re running for the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fight

All rebel rockers, all rebel rockers
All rebel rockers, all rebel rockers

There′s a bullet with your name, it's a sign of the times
It takes nine hundred ninety nine criminal minds
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control

Hey world, you know you got to put up a fight
Hey world, you rumble in the jungle tonight
Hey world, keep running for the rest of your life
You got to put up a fight, you got to put up a fight

You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control

You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
You got to let go of remote control
