TURN IT UP (SORRY, NEIGHBOURS)

His father raved in the 90s and he is doing it louder to make a point

vex on it

after hours

Honest use case: People who want to get hyped, dance aggressively, and feel rebellious.

Exhibit:Now he's part of my kick — encore!

lyrics

(BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.)
AMSTERDAM! ARE YOU ASLEEP?!
(not anymore!)

My neighbour bangs the wall at four
I bang the wall right back in time
Now he's part of my kick — encore!
His broom is keeping four-four time
(BOOM! BOOM!)

One more hour! One more track!
(one more! one more!)
Sleep is a rumour — send it back!

TURN IT UP! (UP!) TURN IT UP! (UP!)
I CAN'T HEAR THE NEIGHBOURS!
TURN IT UP! (UP!) TURN IT UP! (UP!)
MY HEART IS A KICKDRUM — TURN IT UP!
(oi! oi! oi!)

The politie knocked at half past five
I gave them water, gave them space
Now one is doing the hakken live
The other's guarding my bass case
(oi, agent!)

TURN IT UP! (UP!) TURN IT UP! (UP!)
I CAN'T HEAR THE NEIGHBOURS!
TURN IT UP! (UP!) TURN IT UP! (UP!)
MY HEART IS A KICKDRUM — TURN IT UP!
(oi! oi! oi!)

Softly now... softly...
(shh... shh...)
...NOT!
(BOOM!)

TURN IT UP! (UP!) TURN IT UP! (UP!)
I CAN'T HEAR THE NEIGHBOURS!
TURN IT UP! (UP!) TURN IT UP! (UP!)
MY HEART IS A KICKDRUM — TURN IT UP!
(oi! oi! oi!)

(BOOM... BOOM... boom... boom)
Goodnight...
(NEVER!)
