United States

dry your eyes, closed for days
there's no regret, 'cause there's no place
where i don't know what i believe
but if i feel safe, what do i need
a home
revolution, revolution, revolution blues
what will they do to me
dulcet tones whisper fast
refuse your yearns, renounce the past
rouse me soon, the end draws nigh
whose side are you on
your blood you cannot buy
revolution, revolution, revolution blues
what will they do to you
well i, i feel alright
so tonight i got to ask you why
why did i
it's no surprise
i get to survive
ow
bring out your light, i'll help
i'll lay the last child to bed
say the last rites
i don't have to run scared no more
but i want to fight, i want to fight
a revolution tonight
at the light, at the light
do you wanna watch me burn
let me do something good
let me prove something real like i should
let me embrace every single living thing
let me embrace every single moment i ever misunderstood
