Silbury Hill

Are you ready for the biggest funk cover of the year? Since dropping the sold out "Attention!" single on Freestyle last year, Israels hottest funk band, The Apples, have been busy touring Europe (playing to a packed out Jazz Café) and thankfully slaving away in the studio to create this monster. A firm favourite on the road, this cover version of Rage Against The Machine's "Killing In The Name Of" slays crowds everytime. From the well known bass rumble of the intro, the tracks steams straight into the heaviest of breaks, with some of the sharpest horns you'll hear outside of the Dap Kings camp. The chorus is left wide open for your crowd to sing along to which, having been road tested on CDR, happens everytime. A sure fire party starter!

LYRICS

You lost the trust who paid them off?
Shooting cause a worry and fright and them looting in the bright sunlight
You lost the muscle, criminal
They dress up like all the con-men but them no see we hold the second sight

All decent crew
Detonate the pressure
Corrupted fools
Threatening Aggressor
Better you keep flying
It's a war confess your dishonesty
Watch how them talk
They gon hear from us
Straight from the source
Blasted idiot
You got our blood up intensifying
It's a war you can't deny
So push the people and it cause them to riot
And what you do to innocents that no right
Be murderer or you keep them alive
They never look we in the eye

Chorus

Shade and double talk
Their soul for 30 piece of silver sell off
See them a laugh while they ransom it off
No matter what the cost sure them don't hear us at all
So we sure your vision will be clouded tonight
In your delusion say you saw Paradise
So what do we do in a war to survive?
You be confined
Till revelation time
There's no water
So prepare for flooding we cry
Keep your guard up
We kill them in a rub a dub style
Want no part it
We no shy, so look me in the eye

Chorus

Pray for the youth
Faith provide bless up
Article roots
Fakes them a fess up
Know it’s in our rights
The power it less than democracy
Watch them a crawl
No man do we trust
Disease will befall you
And bow down now you must
You suck the blood up like parasite
The power it speak far from poverty
What you teach the people Not bonafide
They will be beaten with the rod and the stripe
Like an undertaker them profit when you die
Them never look me in the eyes

Fireflies
