Lyrics

[Intro] Well, it was a techno D-day out on Omaha Beach I was a reserve DJ playing Columbian mountain beats Andrés Landero Ay, mi sombrero Hold onto your hats, we gotta go [Verse 1] Because the noise inspectors with the sound detectors were coming on down the cliffs And the outlaw posse with the walkie talkie were waiting for them to split And the Cornish sun had only just begun to sink into the western sea So to keep it low so the cops don't know, I spun my Harry Belafonte Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yеah, yeah [Chorus] On a techno D-day, a techno D-day out on Omaha Bеach Where the troops believe in a life of freedom and this is all about free speech [Verse 2] Still, the sound detectors with the noise inspectors were itchin' to call the police And the counselors wanna pounce on us, a-there we go disturbin' the peace But it's the arms companies and directors checkin' fees that really go disturbin' the peace It's the arms dealing creeps, not repetitive bleeps that really go disturbin' the peace Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day way out on Omaha Beach Where the troops believe in a life of freedom and this is all about free speech [Verse 3] The day became night by the campfire light, the crowd began testifying Using the headphones for a mic, for Tenor Saw's delight, I sang, "Another new sound is dying" [Chorus] On a techno D-day, a techno D-day where the long arm of the law can't reach On a techno D-day, a techno D-day, we waited on Omaha Beach We waited We waited [Verse 4] Behind me in the booth was the techno crew ready with the crucial beats Still, they said, "Keep it low, spin your calypso, we're waiting for Babylon to retreat" The crowd was ready to riot, they were sick of being quiet, we're still waiting for the signal to go Then the walkie-talkie gear spat out the all-clear and the boys hit the decks in full flow Go, g-g-g-g-g-g-go, go, go [Chorus] It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day way out on Omaha Beach Where the troops believe in a life of freedom and this is all about free speech On a techno D-day, a techno D-day way out on Omaha Beach Where the troops believe in a life of freedom and this is about free speech Go, go techno D-day, go techno D-day, sometimes you have to get out of reach It was a techno D-day, a techno D-day and this is all about free speech
