Love and Rockets
Be the Revolution
[Verse 1]
Walls coming down, walls going up
I see walls coming down and walls going up
Rave on as the empires fall
Corporations crash, and kings are made to crawl

[Verse 2]
The red flag comes down, the left in demise
The blue flag goes up, the right on the rise
A flaming cross and a swastika
There's one way out, and the road is on fire

We can fly on wings of thought
And start a revolution to take us higher

[Chorus]
Be the revolution - now
Be the revolution - now

[Verse 3]
What's going down? What's coming up?
What's going down here, and what's coming up?
There's no such thing as solid ground
This given had been taken, and mass confusion found

[Verse 4]
Short-lived utopia
The bird of peace forsaken and replaced by the warring hound
Which direction is asylum in?
Well, here's a map, a blindfold, and a pin
[Pre-Chorus]
Refugees of the transitional
Now that we have nothing, we can begin

[Chorus]
To be the revolution - now
To be the revolution - now

[Outro]
Be the revolution - now
(Come on)
Be the revolution - now
(Come on)
Be the revolution - now
(Come on)
Be the revolution - now
(Come on)
Be the revolution - now
(Come on)
Be the revolution
(Come on)
Be the revolution
(Come on)
Be the revolution
(Come on)
Be the revolution
(Come on)
