Revolution

Give me, give me a revolution
D’you wanna know the secret to authority?
Divide the masses, demonise minorities
Wanna know the secret to hold a crown?
Hoist the wealthy up, and beat the poor ones down
D’you wanna know the trick to corporate control?
Destroy communities, and all that people know
Take away their jobs, take away their hope
Then watch them as they rob, disappear in dope
Then it’s profit time, fill the news with fear
Tell them bombers are rife, a new war is here
Tell them kids are bad, they carry knives and rage
But wouldn’t you go mad in a high rise cage?
But they forget to mention people sleeping on streets
Divert your attention, privileged conceit
Oh look what's on TV, what a lovely princess
Doesn’t she look sweet in her weeding dress
Now is the time, stand up and fight
Men and women you’ve got your rights
Calling the heroes of today
You gotta stand up for the children’s sake
Turn off TV, put down your gadgets
Look around this countries had it
Now is the time.
Give me, give me a revolution
Find me some solution that ain’t for rich men’s gain
Tell me, tell me you’ll stand with me
‘Cause if we don’t do now, then we’ll just be histories shame
They manipulate your subconscious mind, with every single thing they advertise
Make you feel inadequate and small, while all the way to the bank they’re walking tall
They follow every move, they’re behind every door
We’re now living proof of 1984
Some technological fun, but behind the scenes, they’re storing everyone though that little black screen
But it’s all okay, we’re programmed to consume
So work every day to buy expensive shoes
And pretend we’re happy, but deep down inside, we know we’re getting shafted and we’re living a lie
It’s called democracy, more like illusion of choice
So which one will it be from these little rich boys
You like the one in the red? Or the one in the blue?
Fuck you, and fuck your system too
Give me, give me a revolution
Find me some solution that ain’t for rich men’s gain
Tell me, tell me you’ll stand with me
‘Cause if we don’t do now, then we’ll just be histories shame
Now is the time, stand up and fight
Men and women you’ve got your rights
Calling all the heroes of today
Give me, give me a revolution
Find me some solution that ain’t for rich men’s gain
Tell me, tell me you’ll stand with me
‘Cause if we don’t do now, then we’ll just be histories shame
We’ll just be histories shame
