Oh, hit it on the one, this world has come undone
Come on and sing it for everyone
Yeah, people, don't you quit, gotta show some heart and grit
You know we gotta put some soul in it
Hey, you know we gotta move, gotta get up and keep it true
Gotta pick it up and put it in the groove
Yeah, it's better to die on your feet, than living on your knees
Gotta get up, get up, get up, people
I'm talkin' 'bout hope
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout freedom
Like a soul sound system
I'm talkin' 'bout hope
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout freedom
Like a soul sound system
Hey, what's it gonna be? People, can't you see?
We need the freedom to be free
Yeah, your brother's on his knees, your sister's beggin', please
Still, we act like war is peace
I'm talkin' 'bout hope
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout freedom
Like a soul sound system
I'm talkin' 'bout hope
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout freedom
Like a soul sound system
Like a soul sound system
Like a soul sound system
(Sound system, soul sound system, sound system)
Like a soul sound system
(Sound system, soul sound system, sound system)
I'm talkin' 'bout hope
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout freedom
Like a soul sound system
I'm talkin' 'bout hope
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout freedom
Like a soul sound system
I'm talkin' 'bout hope
Talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout freedom
Like a soul sound system
I'm talkin' 'bout hope
Love
Talkin' 'bout freedom
Like a soul sound, like a soul sound, like a soul sound system
Like a soul sound system, babe
Just put some soul in it
Like a soul sound system
