Revolution

Chrissie Hynde

When we watch the children play
Remember, it was me and you
So far away
The things we didn't got out to do

The fond fear of danger
That's what sets us apart
Couldn't wait for the real world
To test the strength of the lion's heart

Outcasts like me and you
Have got laws
That they adhere to

Laws outside the laws
As laid down
By those we don't subscribe to

The world is getting stranger
But we'll never lose heart
We can't just wait for the old guard to die
Before we can make a new start

Bring on the revolution
Keep the pressure on
I want to die for something

Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something, want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something (nothing)

Bring on the revolution
Don't wanna die for nothing (something, something)
For every freedom fighter
I want to hold on tighter

To the hope and will you gave
You were the brave, you were the brave
And one day, when I hear your children sing
Freedom will reign, Freedom will reign, Freedom

When we watch the children play
Remember how the priviliged class is brute
And from this day, we set out
To one do what war won't do
Looking for the grand in the minute

Every breath justifies
Every step that we take to remove
What the powers that be can't prove
And the children will understand why

Bring on the revolution
Keep the pressure on
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something

Bring on the revolution
Don't want to die for nothing
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
