Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume

Rhythmatic systematic world control
Magnetic journey to match your soul

Rhythmatic systematic world control
Magnetic journey to match your soul

Rhythmatic systematic world control
Magnetic journey to match your soul

Put the needle on the record
Put the needle on the record
Put the needle on the record
Put the needle on the record
Put the needle on the record
Put the needle on the record
When the drum beats go like this

Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Dance dance
