I heard the man without a plan
To shake it up and set you down again
A Bo Diddley walk, no more messing round the block
Seventeen watts is all of what he's got
So take me out and mess me 'round
I don't want style without a sound
It ain't clean but dig the scene
I heard the message now the message is mine
I heard the man, he bought the news
It came in loud and out of tune
Now I sleep like a bus conductor and dribble like a dog
A double timing scratch to find the sound I'm thinking of
So take me out and mess me 'round
I don't want style without a sound
It ain't clean but dig the scene
I heard the message now the message is mine
Urgh all night, just be there
It don't make sense - you think I care?
I heard the message now the message is mine
