You wanted to build
Build up a wall
You wanted to start
Start a revolution
You wanted to fly
Fly above the rest
You wanted to follow
Follow nobody
Yet here you stand
Standing in line
For the revolution

You wanted to lead
Lead the lot
You wanted to speak
Speak to their hearts
You wanted to inspire
Inspire the common man
You wanted to lay
Lay down the law
Yet here you stand
Standing in line
For the revolution

You wanted to gain
Gain their trust
You wanted to inflict
Inflict whats deserved
You wanted to trust
Trust all of your friends
You wanted to look
Look down and smile
Yet here you stand
Standing in line
For the revolution

You never wanted to fall
Fall from grace
You never wanted to escape
Escape from your fate
You never wanted to cry
Cry for the lost
You never wanted to drink
Drink on your own
And here you run
Running away
From the revolution

You never wanted to fail
Fail them all
You never wanted to scream
Scream to the deaf
You never wanted to fade
Fade away
You never wanted to die
Die like the rest
So here you lie
Lying alone
With no revolution
