The Revolution Song

Alexa Ray Joel

I've got to get myself out of this place
Cause something's happenin' to me
I don't know why, but the whole human race
Has lost it's sweet sanity
It well may be that I just don't belong
In modern society...


What's happenin' to the world we live in now
It's getting harder to be in it
But we know we're gonna make it somehow
We spend all our days tryin' to make somebody proud
It's enough to make me wanna go and scream it out loud


You're sittin' there, at your job, nine to five
And you just wanna go home
You're waitin' tables, you hardly get by
Makin' your way all alone
You wonder how come the man can decide
On what should be up to me
So please don't mind, as I politely confide,
I've got a f*ckin' problem with the concept of authority...


What's happenin' to the world we live in now
It's gettin' harder to be in it
But we know we're gonna make it somehow
We spend all our days tryin' to make somebody proud
It's enough to make me wanna go and scream it out loud...


We waste all our time
Always talkin' about
All that's wrong with the world
Why don't we do somethin' about it?
Let's get up on our feet,
Let's take it to the street,
We'll show em' how it's done,
I say we start a revolution today...


I guess you're wonderin' how I became
The jaded girl that I am
I've seen it all, but I still can't relate
To any woman or man
Some troubles cannot be helped or explained
They run in waters too deep
We try to cover them best as we can
Cause God forbid somebody see us when we're weak


What's happenin' to the world we live in now
It's gettin' harder to be in it
But we know we're gonna make it somehow
We spend all our days tryin' to make somebody proud
It's enough to make me wanna go and scream it out loud...


What's happenin' to the world we live in now
It's gettin' harder to be in it
But we know we're gonna make it somehow
We spend all our days tryin' to make somebody proud
It's enough to make me wanna go and scream it out loud...
