The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you ready for a revolution
Time to raise the stakes
Everybody wants it so easy
Too many people (?on that worn out grate?)
There's a fucked up (?say down?)
It happens every night
But tonight it's gonna change forever
When the (?top round?) tastes a bit of this medicine
You waited long, but it happens fast
'cause everyone's gonna get backstage pass
I pledge allegiance
To the rock'n'roll proletariat
Get up, get even
Show those motherfuckers that you mean it
One in a million, a million strong
Do what it takes, take what you want
There's enough, enough for all
Rise above, standing tall
But always come to take back what they took
Go get your piece of the pie
I ain't in to just fuckin' around
Roll up your sleeves and jump in the fire
I'm sick and tired of running round and round
Don't you feel the same?
They turn a blind eye and a deaf ear
Backed up in a corner, living in a cage
Get back in line, and pump up your fist
'cause everybody here's getting on the guest list
I pledge allegiance
To the rock'n'roll proletariat
Get up, get even
Show those motherfuckers that you mean it
One in a million, a million strong
Do what it takes, take what you want
There's enough, enough for all
Rise above, standing tall
The time has come, this is it
Are you ready? 'cos i'm ready
Let's roll, let's get it up
'cos this thing's on the move wether we like it or not
This rock is rolling, this rock is strong
Let's make it hotter before it's gone
We've been pushed for long enough
It's time to push back, it's gonna get rough
You better believe it
I pledge allegiance
To the rock'n'roll proletariat
Get up, get even
Show those motherfuckers that you mean it
I pledge allegiance
To the rock'n'roll proletariat
Get up, get even
Show those motherfuckers that you mean it
This rock is rolling, this rock is strong
Let's make it hotter before it's gone
We've been pushed for long enough
It's time to push back, it's gonna get rough
Are you ready? hehehehehe
