THE LONELY ISLAND - Boombox lyrics
rate me<FONT size="1"><B>(feat. Julian Casablancas)</B></FONT><BR><BR>
<i>[The Lonely Island]</i> <br>
Imagine in your mind a posh country club <br>
The stuffy old money where the poor kid's snubbed <br>
The spread is bland sauerkraut and boiled goose <br>
There's no way these people will ever cut loose <br>
<br>
But then I walk in the room, hold my boombox high <br>
And what happened next, will blow your mind <br>
<br>
<i>[Julian Casablancas]</i> <br>
Everything got outta control <br>
The music was so undressing <br>
Everyone got out on the floor <br>
It was a bunch of old white people dancing <br>
<br>
<i>[The Lonely Island]</i> <br>
Now picture if you will a bunch of business men <br>
Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen <br>
The ties around the necks are like a hangman's noose <br>
In the middle of the table theres a boiled goose <br>
<br>
The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink <br>
These dudes will never dance yeah that's what you think <br>
I stride in the room all young and hip <br>
Hold up my boombox and say listen to this <br>
<br>
<i>[Julian Casablancas]</i> <br>
Then everyone started to move <br>
People rejoiced instead of financing <br>
Your preconcieved notions were shattered <br>
By the super old white people dancing <br>
<br>
<i>[The Lonely Island]</i> <br>
The big apple, where people never dance <br>
Spirits go down while profits expand <br>
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice <br>
The street benders peddling their boiled goose <br>
<br>
So many types of people will never get along <br>
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song <br>
<br>
<i>[Julian Casablancas]</i> <br>
The music washed away all the hate <br>
And society started advancing <br>
Every demographic was represented <br>
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing <br>
Whoa! <br>
Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves <br>
Whoaaaaaoaaaaaoh! <br>
I saw a spanish guy doing the Bartman <br>
<br>
<i>[The Lonely Island]</i> <br>
Transport now to an old folks home <br>
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones <br>
The orderlies are stealing there's no excuse <br>
Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose <br>
<br>
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo bass <br>
And what happened next was a total disgrace <br>
<br>
<i>[Julian Casablancas]</i> <br>
Everybody started having sex <br>
The music was way too powerful <br>
A bunch of old people fucking like rabbits <br>
It was disgusting to say the least <br>
Oh! <br>
A boombox can change the world <br>
You gotta know your limits with a boombox <br>
This was a cautionary tale <br>
A boombox is not a toy<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
