Curt Smith - Come The Revolution Lyrics

We've got to tell the government

That freedom is God sent



Where's the inspiration

Living like we do

Can't tell the devils from the angels

Faithless believers all over town

Where's the voice of reason just like the others.

Living underground



Come the revolution

Gonna burn this palace down

Come the revolution

Gonna tear his kingdom down

Burn this palace down



Image of corruption

An outline of a life

Is he a devil or an angel

You say you're my brother, you just another clown

Where's the voice of reason, just like the others

Living underground



Come the revolution

Gonna burn this palace down

Come the revolution

Gonna tear his kingdom down

Burn this palace down



Outlines, deadlines, anything for headlines

We get no respect 'cause we're all on the breadline

I know what it's like to be a survivor

You feed on greed when soul is my provider

Come the revolution, the final decider.

See how it feels when you're the outsider



Symptoms of survival, emotions underground

But come the revolution

Gonna burn this palace down

Come the revolution

Gonna tear his kingdom down

Come the revolution

You're gonna hear us shout

Put faith in evolution

And a solution will be found



If you take away my rights, prepare for the fight

We gotta tell the government that freedom is God sent

Don't need no rifles when we have disciples



A peaceful revolution will bring the solution

So raise your hands there's hope for this land
