A man walks into a courtroom Trying to plead his case His judgment not pa**ed on the truth But on the color of his face Some cups are overflowing While others go bone-dry You must look at who's holding the pitcher To see where these problems arise So how can we sit here idling by, As we watch our brothers and sisters die? We spread the pain we know so well While this heaven on earth is turning to hell And I ask, "How long must we wait? How long must we wait, for a new solution? How long must we wait, How long must we wait for a resolution? How long must we wait, How long must we wait for some evolution? How long must we wait, How long must we wait for revolution?" Revolution Revolution Revolution From the day we were born we've been told what to do Yellow black white Christian m**m and Jew We need a world without prejudice But to you we're of them, instead of with us With your palms in the sky and your guns on the ground I can feel the vibration and hear their sharp sound Taking away what you claim you have given Democracy is great but you forgot about living What about living So how can we sit here idling by, As we watch our brothers and sisters die? We spread the pain we know so well While this heaven on earth is turning to hell And I ask, "How long must we wait? How long must we wait, for a new solution? How long must we wait, How long must we wait for a resolution? How long must we wait, How long must we wait for some evolution? How long must we wait, How long must we wait for revolution?" Revolution Revolution Revolution How long, how long How long, how long How long, how long How long, how long Oh, how long must we wait? How long, how long How long, how long Oh, how long must we wait? How long, how long How long, how long How long must we wait?
