Sons Of The Revolution Lyrics - Singles - Tonio K

you're such a brilliant young crusader 

you just got out of school 

you've got twenty years of knowledge 

that you finally get to use 

yes you've got your valiant motives 

and you think you've got the tools 

but you'd better watch the shadows 

'cause they're all watching you 

you'd better duck behind a wall of stone 

and figure your next move 

you've come here to heal the sick 

well good for you 

but you'd better first go home 

and learn the rules 

It's a game alright they're playin' 

but it ain't like on tv 

nobody shakes hands when it's over 

and there ain't no referee 

and the stands are full of broken men 

and the field's grown up in weeds 

and the winners get your children 

yeh they do just what they please 

and they'll cut you for no reason 

'cept they want to watch you bleed 

so forget everything you've heard or read or seen 

it's a game alright they're playin' 

but they're playin' it for keeps 

sons of the revolution 

you're here to save the day 

but it ain't none of you business 

and you're only in the way 

sons of the revolution 

better get out while you can 

'cause there's no one here that wants a helping hand 

once upon a time they told you 

love makes the world go 'round 

now that's getting hard to buy 

as you stare across the wasteland 

and you watch the planet die 

you once heard that everybody's equal 

but you're learning that too is a lie 

there's a couple thousand people 

that own it all, got all the rights 

and it's greed that makes the world go 'round 

and it's bound to start a fire 

and yes there's three billion sleeping people gonna burn 

and you think by now they would have got the word
