Well it was a techno D-Day, out on Omaha Beach
I was a reserve DJ playing Colombian mountain beats
ย
Andres Landero, Jaime Sombrero
Hold on to your hats, we gotta go
Because the noise inspectors with their sound detectors
Were coming on down the cliffs
And the outlaw posse with their walkie-talkie
Were waiting for them to split
And the Laconia side had only just begun
To sink into the western sea
So they keep it low so the cops don't know
I had spun my Harry Belafonte
ย
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
On a techno D-Day, a techno D-Day
Out on Omaha Beach
Where the troops believed in the life of freedom
And this is all about free speech
Still the sound detectors with their noise inspectors
Were itching to call the police
And the councilors wanna pounce on us
How dare we go disturbing the peace
But it's the arms companies and directorship MP's
That are really go disturbing the peace
Yeah, the arms dealing creeps, not repetitive bleeps
They're really go disturbing the peace
ย
Yeah, yeah, yeah
ย
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It was a techno D-Day, a techno D-Day
Way out on Omaha Beach
Where the troops believed in the life of freedom
And this is all about free speech
So day became night and by the campfire light
The crowd began testifying
Using my headphones for a mic
For tenor, soprano, tenor, I sang
Another new sound is dying
On a techno D-Day, a techno D-Day
Blown up above our reach
On a techno D-Day, a techno D-Day
We waited on Omaha Beach
We waited, we waited
Behind me in the booth was the techno crew
Ready with the crucial beats
So they said, "Keep it low, spin your calypso
We're waiting for Babylon to retreat"
And the crowd was ready, rightly so, but super-beam choir
Was still waiting for the signal to go
I said, "No walkie-talkie here, spit out your fear"
And the voices through the Texas wall flowed
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
ย
It was a techno D-Day, a techno D-Day
Way out on Omaha Beach
Where the troops believed in the 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 believed in the life of freedom
And this is all about free speech
Go, go, techno D-Day, go techno D-Day
Don't you ever get out of reach
It was a techno D-Day, a techno D-Day
And this is all about free speech
