You asked me how i'm doing today
i said the same as yesterday struggling to get by
doin' what i have to do to survive
you said what's your problem,
you can change get a full time job
live the american way
i looked you in the eye and said
i just want to get away, from it all
There's many people like me
who have lost all hope in society
we're singin' the revolution is on the way
-revolution!! everybody's sayin' the same thing
from suburban youth to inner city gangs
things are going to explode
This generation's future is looking bleak
more and more people are going to jail
the standard of living is shot to hell
how much will it take
people will only be pushed so far
The struggle continues it's always around
there's power in numbers
we can't be held down
if you think it's futile and nothing can change
roll over and die and get out of the way
don't hold us back
we're singin' the revolution is on the way
we will stay discontent
we're singin' the revolution is on the way
a free world for all
we're singin' the revolution is on the way
