Lyrics
The Real
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.
the real revolution starts within
lock down and caged - our lives directed
we just can't ignore the real reasons
we are just as much to blame an anyone else
silence - in apathy - we won't make a difference
how can we say that's not true
stereotype values - intoxication won't bring about change
there is a reason to rejection - I feel it in my rage
a protest to insuffíency - a purpose to save and heal
a balance to recover the distorted picture
words means nothing - action is what counts
when I comes down to it - don't count me out
