Bloody Revolutions

You Talk About Your Revolution, Well, That's Fine

But What Are You Going to Be Doing Come the Time?

Are You Going to Be the Big Man With the Tommy-gun?

Will You Talk of Freedom When the Blood Begins to Run?

Well, Freedom Has no Value If Violence Is the Price

Don't Want Your Revolution, I Want Anarachy and Peace

Chorus: You Talk of Over Throwing Power With Violence As Your Tool

You Speak of Liberation and When the People Rule

Well Ain't It People Rule Right Now, What Differnce Would There Be?

Just Another Set of Bigots With Their Rifle-sights On Me

But What About Those People Who Don't Want Your New Restrictions?

Those That Disagree With You and Have Their Own Convictions?

You Say Thay've Got It Wrong Becuase They Don't Agree With You

So When the Recolution Comes You'll Have to Run Them Through

Yet You Say That Revoution Will Bring Freedom For Us All

Well Freedom Just Ain't Freedom When Your Back's Against the Wall

Chorus

Will You Indoctrinate the Masses to Serve Your New Regime?

And Simply Do Away With Those Whose Views Are Too Extreme?

Transportation Details Could Be Left to British Rail

Where Zyklon B Sucessed, North Sea Gas Will Fail

It's Just the Same Old Story of Man Destroying Man

We've Got to Look For Other Answers to the Problems of This Land

Chorus

Vive La Revolution, People of the World Unite

Stand Up of Courage, It's Your Job to Fight

It All Seems Very Easy, This Revolution Game

But When You Start to Really Play Thing Won't Be Quite the Same

Your Intellectual Theories On How It's Going to Be

Don't Seem to Take Into Accoutn the True Reality

Cos the Truth of What You're Saying, As You Sit There Sipping Beer

Is Pain and Death and Suffering, But of Course You Wouldn't Care

You're Far Too Much of a Man For That, If Mao Did It So Can You

What's the Fredom of Us All Agaist the Suffering of a Few?

That's the Kind of Self-deception That Killed Ten Million Jews

Just the Same False Logic That All Power-mogers Use

So Don't Think You Can Fool Me Wiht Your Political Tricks

Bovernment Is Government and All Government Is Force

Left of Right, Right Or Left, It Takes the Same Old Course

Oppression and Restriction, Regulation, Rule and Law

The Seizre of That Power Is All Your Revolution's For

You Romanticise Your Heroes, Qutoe From Marx and Mao

Well Thir Ideas of Freedom Are Just Oppression Now

Nothing's Changed For All the Death That Their Ideas Created

It's Just the Same Fascistic Games, But the Rules Aren't Clearly Stated

Nothing's Really Different Cos All Government's the Same

They Can Call It Freedom, But Slavery Is the Game

There's Nothgin That You Offer But a Dream of Last Years Hero

The Truth of Revolution, Bother..................... Is Year Zero
