Jamiroquai - Revolution 1993 lyrics

Ah, let's get paramilitary do it!
It's time for a revolution

Yes you've got to stand up (Stand up)
Stay strong (Stay strong)
Start movin' in the right direction
Don't wait (Don't wait) too long (Too long)
For people promising divine intervention
Nineteen (Nineteen) nine three (Nine three)
And now I'm taking matters into my own hands
So fast (So fast) i can't see (Can't see)
A revolution is the only way
That we can change, change, change
Yeah

Well it's hard times white lines
Kids of nine getting down with gun crime
War zones, no homes
Ain't it time we gave the dog a bone
Say brothers (Brothers) sisters (Sisters)
Step up and put yourself in the picture
This time, you know
A revolution is the only way
That we can change, change, change
Yeah

I wanna fight the power
Come on and fight the power yeah
Now don't you wanna stand and fight it now?
Come on, we can fight it now!

Question answer (Answer)
Shake your hand and smile for the camera
But, it's no good (No good)
You should (You should)
Spend time in your neighbourhood
Where black kids (Black kids)
White kids (White kids)
And now I'm working overtime to
Be a crack kid no job (No job)
No cash (No cash)
A revolution is the only way that
We can change, change, change, yeah
