Turn it up, turn it so loud
   It don't ever stop
   No no no no
   Turn it up, makes me so proud
   I believe in this feeling
  
   Well you've lost all the things
   That sharing could bring
   Thought you were doing right
   But violence and flames
   And torches and chains
   Are fuelling
   These new northern lights
   Like prisoners working
   On infertile land
   Took eight years
   To find out the score
   If you're sick then you're lonely
   Out of work then you're hungry
   The sentence is four years more
  
   Turn it up, turn it so loud
   It don't ever stop
   No no no no
   Turn it up, makes me so proud
   I believe in this feeling
   Turn it up, turn it up
   Right up, right up
  
   Who says poverty and race
   Can be kept in their place
   By keeping it
   All underground
   And ruling the country
   Are unfaithful husbands
   Who spank little boys
   Gagged and bound
   There's got to be a better way
   For you and for me
   To turn this hypocrisy round
   The growth of a nation
   Cannot be achieved
   By keeping
   The downtrodden down
  
   Turn it up, turn it so loud
   It don't ever stop
   No no no no
   Turn it up, makes me so proud
   I believe in this feeling
   Turn it up, turn it up
   Right up, right up
