Give me, give me a revolution D’you wanna know the secret to authority? Divide the masses, demonise minorities Wanna know the secret to hold a crown? Hoist the wealthy up, and beat the poor ones down D’you wanna know the trick to corporate control? Destroy communities, and all that people know Take away their jobs, take away their hope Then watch them as they rob, disappear in dope Then it’s profit time, fill the news with fear Tell them bombers are rife, a new war is here Tell them kids are bad, they carry knives and rage But wouldn’t you go mad in a high rise cage? But they forget to mention people sleeping on streets Divert your attention, privileged conceit Oh look what's on TV, what a lovely princess Doesn’t she look sweet in her weeding dress Now is the time, stand up and fight Men and women you’ve got your rights Calling the heroes of today You gotta stand up for the children’s sake Turn off TV, put down your gadgets Look around this countries had it Now is the time. Give me, give me a revolution Find me some solution that ain’t for rich men’s gain Tell me, tell me you’ll stand with me ‘Cause if we don’t do now, then we’ll just be histories shame They manipulate your subconscious mind, with every single thing they advertise Make you feel inadequate and small, while all the way to the bank they’re walking tall They follow every move, they’re behind every door We’re now living proof of 1984 Some technological fun, but behind the scenes, they’re storing everyone though that little black screen But it’s all okay, we’re programmed to consume So work every day to buy expensive shoes And pretend we’re happy, but deep down inside, we know we’re getting shafted and we’re living a lie It’s called democracy, more like illusion of choice So which one will it be from these little rich boys You like the one in the red? Or the one in the blue? Fuck you, and fuck your system too Give me, give me a revolution Find me some solution that ain’t for rich men’s gain Tell me, tell me you’ll stand with me ‘Cause if we don’t do now, then we’ll just be histories shame Now is the time, stand up and fight Men and women you’ve got your rights Calling all the heroes of today Give me, give me a revolution Find me some solution that ain’t for rich men’s gain Tell me, tell me you’ll stand with me ‘Cause if we don’t do now, then we’ll just be histories shame We’ll just be histories shame
