Revelation: Revoulution 69 Songtext
von The Lovin’ Spoonful

And no one dares to ask them what they do there after dark
And the prize they give to men who kill is a statue in the park
Ah, don′t let 'em cut your wings, dear ones, before you learn to fly
Too soon the game will seem too real and then no one will ask why
I′m scared to start, I can't stop my heart, no, I want a revolution


And it's what they do not what they say that screams out "It′s a lie"
Better keep your toke locked in your head before your martyr die
Let′s hang together then good friends or you know we'll hang alone
And the hawks that fly will tear your
eyes and rip your skin clean off your bone
I′m afraid to die but I'm a man inside and I need a revolution

And I′m cryin' watchin′ brothers of
mine doin' time for makin' those waves
About evil men who′ve been sittin′ on
them, laughin', lovin′ the system they've saved
Those heavy-handed, hit-down hard arms pushed them to this fight
And I′m tired of seein' our name done
wrong when it′s us who gives the right
And if looks can tell sure as hell we're gonna have a revolution

Yeah, watch!
