You asked me how I'm doing today
I say 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 wanna get away from it all
There are many people just like me
who have lost all hope in society
We're singing 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 our way
Don't hold us back
We're singing the revolution is on the way
We will stay discontent
We're singing the revolution is on the way
A free world for all
We're singing the revolution is on the way!
