World Turns A Revolution Lyrics - The Blue Dogs

Joseph Lee lost his job today 

The man's got so much to lose 

Wonders what his wife and kids will say 

It's a common situation for someone in his shoes 

Ever since his eighteenth birthday he's been out here on the clock 

He's been moving up and inside the white man's machine 

For twenty years he worked hard 

To make it to the top 

Still the boss man couldn't say why he chose Joseph Lee 

No one says a thing around here in this small town 

We're all scratching for the same dirty workerman's pay 

I haven't lived as long as he 

But I grew up with the same dreams 

I hope the lord forgives me 

If I look the other way 

But the world turns a revolution 

Turns around each and every day 

Maybe someday we will find a new solution 

For the changes the world goes through today 

The world is upside down 

Things just don't seem to make sense 

No one sees the clock as it unwinds 

Greed and lust and gain 

Fuel the filth of the machine 

As the right thing to do 

Becomes the last thing on our minds 

Chorus 

No one says a thing here in this small town 

We're all scratching for the same dirty workers pay 

I haven't lives as long as he 

But I grew up with the same dreams 

I hope the lord forgives me if I look the other way 

Look the other way 

Chorus 

Chorus
