Revolution Now!

I was afraid of the fight
But then I realized
There's no-one coming to save us
The sheriff's just a hired gun

What makes us trust in them
We've had to fight to survive
Every one of our rights
Cost us so many lives

So how can we just look away
When they divide us up we're so easy to swallow
How can you just look away

CHORUS:​
Revolution Now
​​They belong in jail
​​Take away their power
​​Give it back to the people
​​Don't just let them get away
​​Don't let them get away

Once I believed in the press
But now I can see
Everything's just for sale
Whistleblowers put to rest
​
Like a little child in his room
They keep us locked away
While they pocket the moon
Distract us with useless news

How can you doubt when you know
That what you see is what they want you to get
It's a public relations show

CHORUS

We've got to fight
Take our might to the streets, yeah
And keep them from oppressing the masses
Give up our rights and we're all gonna lose our asses

CHORUS

Revolution
They try to cover up the truth, yeah
Revolution
As they knife the constitution
Revolution
All around the world they're just getting away
