Tis a Revolution (a11)
Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’
On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’
Calling out like Mister Paul Revere
Telling everyone that war is here
Put no faith in the institution
Come gather round tis a revolution
Rich man sailing on his fancy yacht
People dreaming about what he got
All his workers slaving doing over time
Ain’t against the law but it’s a crime
Rich man better make restitution
Come gather round tis a revolution
The people are talking on the street
A lot of them don’t have enough to eat
Some don’t got shoes to cover their feet
And there ain’t no way to beat the heat
I tell you I know the solution
Come gather round tis a revolution
Rappers they singing the ghetto’s rage
We all agree we gotta turn the page
Right now things aren’t the way to be
God made man and he made man free
Listen to the words of your religion
Come gather round tis a revolution
Atomic powers is sick with nuclear waste
Gives everyone alive a bad taste
The toxic chemicals are beyond awful
For sure that stuff is criminal
The world is dying from our pollution
Come gather round tis a revolution
We understand yes we see
You fill the land with futility
Democrat or Republican
Ain’t neither one to my likin’
What we need is a new constitution
Come gather round tis a revolution
Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’
On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’
Calling out like Mister Paul Revere
Telling everyone that war is here
Put no faith in the institution
Come gather round tis a revolution
