There’s a revolution
It’s marching up your street
There’s a revolution
It’s swirlin’ around your feet
There’s a revolution
It’s knockin’ at your door
There’s revolution
Crawlin’ across the floor
There’s a bloody revolution

There’s a revolution from the miniscule margins of the mucky mundane to the max of the mainstream
Fighting a proxy war in a foreign land, picking up momentum, and gathering steam
New-born babies can tell you who you are and fetuses dream, what do ya know, hey, whoa!
Some things are never are the way they ever seem, it’s a common theme, yo!
Don’t for a minute mistake speaking without thought for actually speaking the truth, ya big galoot
It’s the secrets that you think won’t kill you are the ones that always do, it’s true
Follow doctor’s orders, eat fruits and veggies every day, drink wine and whiskey too
For a rainbow of reasons, I do whatever I feel like, mostly absolutely nothing, and nothing new
In the kangaroo court of public opinion, sorry to disappoint, I make real music… You couldn’t possibly be cognizant to
Don’t hang onto the past, the past is gone, but who’s counting, the past is gone long ago, the past is gone, let’s go
In the spirit of having fun, don’t do yourself any favors and go out of your way to go against the flow

(Refrain)

No one ever plans on dying when they step outside the door each day to put up with more
The icy winds of war are blowin’ in the hinterlands and from one shore to the other shore like it’s never been before
It’s persuasive, invasive, pretty pervasive, oh by the way, your house is on fire
You better pick a god to pray to and pray, pull the plug, kick the tires, and cross all the wires.
Take in your recommended daily allowance of weapons-grade mediocrity with a cup of store bought tea
And watch the rock salt shot gun talk show hosts with a liquid crystal display of honesty, geez!
Matter is everything and everything matters, nothing to see here, move along please
It’s just a small black hole, just a minor black hole, we’ve got it under control (trust us), see?
As time passes we all become who we always should have been, and when we realize it, it’s like a hit to the chin
To see what’s right in front of you is a constant struggle
Can’t really call it a war because wars eventually end

(Refrain)

I’m a 20th century exile holding court with cretins and kings and wing dings
I’m a clinically dysfunctional calcitrant, but I know a few things
I’m a good person, but I’m not that good
I’m unflappable, I cannot be flapped
Cuz you never know when it’s peace out, bro
I know exactly where I am but I don’t know where I’m at
Leaving me on the business end of a 2-barrell shotgun of regrets
In the aftermath of a simple beginning, I’m today-years-old, and taking bets
I’m not going anywhere, just staring into space, and trying to get to a better place
I never focus on how I should feel, I only focus on what I do feel, if indeed I can even focus staring into space
It’s like this, when you love what you do, it’s not hard to do it
All you have to know is when to play the ace

(Refrain)
