The Revolution Lyrics - David Byrne

Amplifiers & old guitars 

Country music sung in bars 

& when she sings the revolution's near 

Beauty holds the microphone 

& watches as we stumble home 

& she can see the revolution now 

Dirt & fish & trees & houses 

Smoke & hands up women's blouses 

Not like I expected it would be 

Bubbles pop in every size 

It's analyzed & criticized 

& beauty knows that it is almost here 

Beauty goes to her address 

She shuts the door and climbs the stairs 

& when she sleeps the revolution grows

Beauty rests on mattress strings 

Wearing just her underthings 

& when she wakes the revolution's here 

& when she wakes the revolution's here
