Revisionism Street Lyrics - It's A Mystery - Bob Seger

I saw them standing on a corner 

Bathed in ordinary light 

They turned away and started walkin' 

And faded off into the night 

Some years ago they were in fashion 

Tonight they couldn't get a seat 

They've got themselves a brand new history 

From Revisionism Street 

Written on Revisionism Street 

The years of sacrifice and struggle 

The arc of stardom's natural course 

The inevitable decline 

The wolves waiting at the door 

"Let's dig up something really nasty" 

"Let's get some clay around their feet" 

"No ones memory is sacred 'round here 

On Revisionism Street"

"We'll never be in the arena" 

"Hey, we'll never have to compete" 

"We'll never write a classic novel" 

"And we'll never have to be discreet!" 

Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac Newton 

Elvis Presley, Captain Bligh 

They're heroic or pathetic 

Depending on which book you buy 

Charles Dickens, Jackie Gleason 

Burn 'em all, turn up the heat 

If there's no truth, use innuendo 

this is Revisionism Street 

"Let's find ourselves some old acquaintance" 

"Let's see what they have to say" 

"Some disgruntled ex-employee" 

"Presto! Payday!"

A tree falls in the forest 

A million copies go to print 

Some parasitic little feeder 

Sits back and makes a mint 

Somewhere a baby's softly sleeping 

lt's innocence complete 

Unaware they're workin' late tonight
