Lyrics Revolution (Pt. 1) - Nina Simone

Revolution (Pt. 1)

Oh we got a revolution
I see …
Helo, hold it…
… start again
And now we got a revolution
Cause i see the face of things to come
Yeah, the Constitution
Well, my friend, its gonna have to bend
I’m here to tell you about destruction
Of all the evil that will have to end.
Some folks are gonna get the notion
I know they’ll say I’m preachin hate
But if i have to swim the ocean
Well i would just to communicate
Its not as simple as talkin jive
The daily struggle just to stay alive
Singin about a revolution
Because were talkin about a change
Its more than just evolution
Well you know, you got to clean your brain
The only way that we can stand in fact
Is when you get your foot off our back
