Revolutionist Lyrics - Rilo Kiley

We've come through some tough times 

But we've come through them together, 

All of us from every race, every religion and ethnic background. 

All that we've done and all that we mean to do 

Is to make this country freer still. 

America's future rests in a thousand dreams inside your hearts. 

It rests in the message of hope in songs of a man 

so many young Americans admire. 

Ronald Reagan, September 19, 1984

Live from the West Side Los Angeles 

Yelling to the Lower East Side tenements 

Who am I to criticize politics and yet glorify drugs and sex? 

Well I'm the next evolution of the revolution 

Fighting those over thirty and the institution 

This musician's contribution is 

A rendezvous for the new revolutionist 

This new revolution is 

Whatever it is
