Revolution |
I spent twenty-seven years in this factory |
And the boss man says, 'hey you’re not what we need' |
The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed |
It’s a solitary life when you’ve mouths to feed |
But who cares about us? |
Now I’m back on the streets |
With my hands held shut |
I’m a workingman without any work |
Well is this the way it’s meant to be |
Because I signed off for the American Dream |
Now, I write my name to the welfare scheme |
The money in the bank, well it’s history |
So take me down to where the worlds collide |
And leave me here 'til I’m satisfied |
So let the Revolution begin |
Now I drag these bones |
'Cross the barren land |
Where once a city, now an outstretched hand |
We can’t lose our sense of dignity |
While the fat-faced cats lap up the cream |
Another disappearing act falls up their sleeves |
While the shirts on our back seek refugee |
So take me down to where the worlds collide |
And leave me here 'til I’m satisfied |
'Cause there’ll come a day |
When all of us will show, we won’t be afraid |
Although we’re crashing, we won’t burn |
Let the Revolution, the revolution begin |
I spent twenty-seven years in this factory |
And the boss man says, 'hey you’re not what we need' |
The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed |
It’s a solitary life when you’ve mouths to feed |
So take me down to where the worlds collide |
And leave me here 'til I’m satisfied |
Do take me down to where the worlds divide |
And leave me here I won’t compromise |
'Cause there’ll come a day |
When all of us will show, we won’t be afraid |
'Cause from these ashes we will grow |
So let the Revolution, the Revolution, the Revolution begin… |
Begin… begin…begin…begin…begin |
