Fade Away Songtext
von Stereo MC’s

Don′t let it fade away.

Can you feel the tension in the air
You best be ready, best be prepared
Don't try to doubt it
Just think about it

It′s in the blood, it's in the faith
It's in the look sittin′ on your face
And you can′t hide it
Just think about it

So no pretendin', start defendin′
Stop the rot before it sets in
Think about it
Just think about it

Spreadin' like poison autographs
Poison Ivy from the past
You gotta think about it
Just think about it


We′re birds of a feather, bees of a sting
Listen to the words that the silo bring
'Cause we′re livin' in the shadows of yesterday
Nobody can make that fade away

You can't make it fade away
You can′t make it fade away
You can′t make it fade away
Don't let it fade away

(repeat)

And if you think that you belong
On a higher plane then you′d be wrong
Just think about it
Just think about it

Don't matter what uniform you wear
It′s just a superficial layer
You gotta think about it
Just think about it

It's on the pages and the ABC
It′s in the roots of history
Nobody can hide it
Just think about it


Is this the way it's meant to be
Generation gap is all I see
How we're divided
Just think about it

We′re birds of a feather, bees of a sting
Listen to the words that the silo bring
′Cause we're livin′ in the shadows of yesterday
Nobody can make that fade away

You can't make it fade away
You can′t make it fade away
You can't make it fade away
Don′t let it fade away

(repeat)

Stop the train, I'm goin' insane
Every channel looks just the same
Just visualize it
Just think about it

I′d rather be a savage, see
Than undergo this lobotomy
You gotta think about it
Just think about it

Wanna burn the Jack in orange flames
′Till all the pride turn into shame
Incinerate it
Just think about it

Hallucinatin' while we′re waitin'
Time′s a comin' for startin′ somethin'
That's words, paragraphs and phrases
History books lead me ′round in mazes

Birds of a feather, bees of a sting
Listen to the words that the silo bring
′Cause we're livin′ in the shadows of yesterday
Nobody can make that fade away - come on

You can't make it fade away
You can′t make it fade away
You can't make it fade away
Don′t let it fade away

(repeat 2x)
