Revolution Man

I knew a woman of a thousand reasons

She had and answers for everything

I used to kiss here just to keep here from speaking

I’ve done the strangest things

I was a solider and my anger was the weapon

I drew the battle lines on every side

I built a prison and I called it freedom

I’ve done the strangest things

I should have known there was rubble

Lying at the end of the tunnel

I was blinded

Shake the rattle at the jungle wall

Take the fire from the dragons jaw

Chase the devil from the neighbourhood

Just to watch him running

Pound the drums so the wild men come

Rising from my soul again

Feel the power in my hand

Revolution man

I learned the language of the uninvited

I learned to fool myself a thousand ways

I was the poet in the house of silence

I’ve done the strangest things

I knew an old man with a face of winter

He never noticed that the seasons change

I took his photograph and covered up the mirror

I’ve done the strangest things

Shake the rattle at the jungle wall

Take the fire from the dragons jaw

Chase the devil from the neighbourhood

Just to watch him running

Pound the drums so the wild men come

Rising from my soul again

Feel the power in my hand

Revolution man
