John Butler Trio - Revolution Lyrics

So tell me family now what do you think? Watch it all
go down the great big sink. Watch how the scum it
rises to the top. Don't you wonder when it's all gonna
stop? Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep, serving the
dodgy companies we keep. All kicking and scrounging
for the very first place - dictionary defintion of a
rat race. Pay off those losers we elect to lead.
stealing from the mouths that we're meant to fee.
Enslaving the very clothes upon my back, I feel the
sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm sayin

Running through the fire, running through the flame,
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution
already underway

Big heavy pirates man digging those holes, messing
with something that they can't control. Trespassing
lands where they don't belong, all I hear is screaming
whee there once were songs. I got my brothers there
fighting those wars, fighting over scraps and scraping
their sores. Under a blanket of a fire and pride that
can't keep us warm for the cold inside, inside, I'm
saying

Running through the fire, running through the flame,
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution
already underway

So tell me when you think we're gonna rise? Wake from
this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? Yes from
this nightmare yes I must now wake, open my fist my
destiny I take! Good people sick and tired of being
pushed around, we call them kings but I see no crown.
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up? Say enough
is enough is enough, enough, I'm saying

Running through the fire, running through the flame,
running through the hatred, pushing through the blame,
running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution
already underway

Take back your feet, take back your hands, take back
your words, take back your land. Take back your heart,
take back your pride. Don't got to hide. Revolution!
