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 ma**es
Give up our rights and we're all gonna lose our a**es
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
