The Revolution

I’m the type of kid to push away girls like you

Who get too close to me

This ain't your front porch on division street

Where you crashed your car

And then you blamed it on a sneeze

Well god bless you darling

I mean it

You’re the type of girl who said

She don’t believe in god

But you believed in me

We never missed our opportunity here

We just grew up until we found some room to breathe

Well god bless us darling we need it

We need a revolution

Why else are we standing here, yeah

Take off our gloves, put down our guns

Til’ everyone sings, yeah

We’re the type of kids

Who burned the whole damn forest down

We looked like criminals

How we got out alive it’s biblical and I

Felt something strange behind my knees

Well nothing exists til’ you see it

We can turn back now

Or we can burn a whole nother town

Everybody gets out

It’s just that night we don’t talk about

I’m sick of life decisions

This cut dry life we live in

If I did you wrong I’m sorry

You’re just so god damn pretty

Why else are we standing here, yeah

Take off our gloves look towards the sun

Til’ everyone sings yeah

If I sang you to sleep would you listen

I’d tell you all the things that I’ve been missing

When words flow like river bends

I’ve burned too many cigarettes

At home

Where did you go

I hated you for leaving

Got sick of writing letters on the weekend

My thoughts were clear like cellophane

I had to see you face to face at home

So where do we go

Now that we’re both standing here, yeah

We’ll take off our gloves put down our guns

Til’ everyone sings, sings, sings

We need a revolution

Why else are we standing here, yeah

Take off our gloves, put down our guns

Til’ everyone sings, yeah

We need a revolution
