There's a Revolution coming, The boots are on the streets; It's calling from the graves, We're stirring from our sleep. There's a hunger in the eyes; The troops are on their feet. The revolutions's coming And the enemy won't retreat. There's a revolution coming, It's coming as we speak; The revolution's coming, It should be here next week. The mob appeal Is running lights, Towered minions Fight the fight To rein in their percent, From navel gazing heights. Desks in towers, Those grasping power, Will tumble in defeat. The gravity of their greed Will drag them through the streets. The bell at four Will sound no more; The chorus chants For a holy war; and Salvation for the weak. There's a revolution On the way, We'll re-write all the laws, We'll line up the Romanovs, And shake down all the Shahs. There's a revolution coming And it's coming With just cause.

You Say You Want a Revolution
There's a Revolution coming, The boots are on the streets; It's calling from the graves, We're stirring from our sleep. There's a hunger in the eyes; The troops are on their feet. The revolutions's coming And the enemy won't retreat. There's a revolution coming, It's coming as we speak; The revolution's coming, It should be here next week. The mob appeal Is running lights, Towered minions Fight the fight To rein in their percent, From navel gazing heights. Desks in towers, Those grasping power, Will tumble in defeat. The gravity of their greed Will drag them through the streets. The bell at four Will sound no more; The chorus chants For a holy war; and Salvation for the weak. There's a revolution On the way, We'll re-write all the laws, We'll line up the Romanovs, And shake down all the Shahs. There's a revolution coming And it's coming With just cause.
Re-post. New title. Of course it's a Lennon line. Seems appropriate with the goings on in the streets of America.
