Revolution Now! Lyrics - Bread Over Bombs

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
