Here comes the action Here it comes at last Lord give me a reaction Lord give me a chance You should follow me down Satellite towns Colour in your sound I've been ten feet underground Gotta get out of this satellite town Here comes some action The sound of nightlife Gotta get out to get conversation Gotta get out to get pissed tonight whether you live alone or your trying to find your way in this world You better make sure you don't crack your head on the pavement man You getta get up and shout It's been programmed It's a dangerous place man It's a dangerous place You should follow your way down Satellite towns There's no colour in your sound I've been ten feet underground Oh black and white town You should follow me down There's no colour in your sound In black and white town You took me underground In black and white town
