Operation Ivy Sound System Lyrics

(Chorus:)
Sound system gonna bring me back up
One thing that I can depend on

Try to describe to the limit of my ability:
Its there for a second
Then it's given up what it used to be
Contained in music somehow more than just sound
This inspiration coming and twisting things around
Because you always know that it's gonna have to go
You always know that you'll be back in the cold.
Point of departure sublimated in a song
Its always coming to give me that hope for just a second
Then it's gone, but!

(Chorus)

Static pulse inside of music bringing us escape.
Its always temporary, changing nothing in its wake...
Just a second where we're leaving all this s___ behind
Just a second but its leaving just this much in mind:
To resist despair, that second makes you see
To resist despair, because you can't change everything
To resist despair, in this world is what it is to be free

(Chorus)

Wake up turn my box on
Bust the shade, let the sun in
times getting tougher 'bout time to start runnin'
Box in my hand music by my side
s____in' to the rhythm of the music by my side
