First Verse
Let’s put the beat back (repeat)
Sometimes it's hard to understand what’s going on
Sometimes it's hard to realise what's going wrong
You read the paper in the morning ain’t no succour there
Zap the stations till it's boring ain’t no succour there
Same old singer singing his song
No one’s got the guts to bang the gong
Flashing his smile strutting his stuff
If you don't like it that's just tough

Chorus
Let's put the beat back in our souls let’s put the beat back
Let's put the beat back in our hearts let’s put the beat back
Let's put the beat back (repeat)

Second Verse
Sometimes it's hard to analyse what's going on
Sometimes it's hard to visualise what's going wrong
You hear about the brand new dawning ain’t no succour there
Just look around you’ll see them falling ain’t no succour there
I think the OCOC still applies
It's standing right there before your eyes
Flashing his smile strutting his stuff
If you don't like it that's just tough

Chorus
Let's put the beat back in our souls let’s put the beat back
Let's put the beat back in our hearts let’s put the beat back

Break
Let's put the beat back in our house
Beat back in the ground
Let's put the beat back right now
Let's put the beat back
Let's put the beat back (repeat)
Sometimes it just ain’t enough to say it
You gorra do something baby
Let's put the beat back (repeat)
You gorra do something baby
Let's put the beat back
You gorra do something baby
Let's put the beat back
You gorra do something (repeat)
OCOC (repeat)
You gorra do something baby
OCOC (repeat)
Let's put the beat back (whisper)
