Song title: Change it (Revolution)
Change it (Revolution)
Well everybody's saying their favourite sayings
Everybody's singing their favourite songs
Everybody's got a favourite game they're playing
Well ha, we're alright, but I guess we're all wrong
I said you better take a look around you brother
Something's happening here
Sooner or later it's gonna surround you
And leave you with nothing but fear
All you gotta do is hang around
Tell you you're never gonna know
What's going down
Changing, changing children
Changing, changing children
Changing, changing children
Changing, changing children
Bring it on down
Bring it on down now
Bring it on down
Yeah well now I know that we all wanna change it
I tell you first, first we gotta rearrange it
No one in here wants to be, be selfish so
We got the first five people here that can see
And there ain't no one in the back that can't see at all
Ok, alright now let me say something to you
Well there's cannons on my left, I got cannons on my right
Rode my people out of battle 'till the side was right
And you know I only path that's bringing 'em low now, can't you see the light
Oh doing what you want to, living life like you like
Hey look you better take a look around you
Something's gonna happen here
Sooner or later we're gonna surround you
And leave them with nothing but fear
All you gotta do is hang around
Tell you you're never gonna know
Just what's going down
You ain't never gonna know
I think we're gonna take our first clapping lesson here
The trick is to clap in time
Whoa whoa it's that time again
Whoa yeah it's that time again
Whoa whoa it's that time again
Whoa yeah it's that time again
I ain't felt like this since I don't know when
A new sun is rising and the weather is changing
Whoa whoa it's revolution
Whoa whoa it's revolution
Yeah yeah it's revolution
Whoa whoa it's revolution
So lets get together and have a good time
There's so much fun it's gonna blow your mind
Break out the guns and the ammo
Everything's gonna be fine
Break out the guns and the ammo
We're gonna have ourselves a real good time
Whoa whoa its that time again (for revolution)
Whoa whoa its that time again (for revolution)
Yeah yeah its that time again (for revolution)
Whoa whoa its that time again (for revolution)
Whoa whoa its that time again (for revolution)
Yeah yeah its that time again (for revolution)
Yeah yeah its that time again (for revolution)
Whoa whoa its that time again (for revolution)
Whoa whoa its that time again (for revolution)
Whoa whoa its that time again (for revolution)
Whoa whoa its that time again (for revolution)
So take LSD and hawk the pigs
The summer is over gonna make it big
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta
Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta
Changing, changing children
Changing, changing children
Well everybody's saying their favourite sayings
Everybody's singing their favourite songs
Everybody's got a favourite game that they're playing
Everybody's right Lord, and huh we're all wrong
Oh but we can fix that up
We can amend that mistake
Well you know I made a lot of mistakes in my life
Stepped on a few toes too
Well I made a lot of mistakes in my life
The Lord god up above knows that's true
Changing, we got to change ourselves oh yeah
From all the destruction
From all the corruption
Oh yeah
Alright yeah
Lets do it
We got to change it now
Changing, changing children
