Madonna - ​secretprojectrevolution lyrics

Economic markets are collapsing people
All over the
World are suffering and people are afraid
And what happens
When people are afraid? They
Become intolerant they start
Pointing the finger at other people they say
"You’re the reason you’re the problem
You’re to blame get out!"
The enemy is not out there
The еnemy is within

All you need for a movie is a
Gun and a girl - Jean-Luc Godard

I did my tour of duty this yеar
And it feels like I’ve been to hell
And back i saw many things I
Did not like i saw apathy i saw
Intolerance i saw desperation and poverty
I saw discrimination and bigotry


And a kind of sinister
Black cloud of hypocrisy moving in on me
Like a curtain of despair yeah
That’s right i
Saw a lack of desire like a plague
Putting everyone into a kind of a
Trance and I looked into the
Eyes of people and I saw
Helplessness i saw hopelessness i
Saw humans searching for a way out
Another new and exciting distractio
An excuse to do nothing an
External enemy to blame

But I also saw people desperate for a way
In, looking for guidance
Looking for inspiration, for
Hope looking for love i keep telling everyone
That I want to start a revolution
But no one is taking me seriously if I
Had black skin and an afro
Would you take me seriously?
If I was an Arab waving a hand grenade
Would you take me seriously? If I
Was wearing combat gear
And I had an AK-47 strapped to my back
Would you take me seriously?

Instead, I’m a woman i’m a blonde
I have tit's and an ass, and an insatiable
Desire to be noticed "Come on, baby show
Us your ass shake it for us
Baby do that dance you do so well for us
Baby" And some people like it
When I show my ass and some people
Think it’s obscene judgment over compassion
And fear over love and that is obscene

("Show us your ass") ok, but I still want to
Start a revolution somebody’s got
To there’s too much beauty in
The world going to
Waste too much talent going unnoticed
Too much creativity crushed
Beneath the wheel of corporate
Branding and what’s trending

But it’s time to wake up before it’s too
Late history’s repeating it'self
Don’t you see
A pattern here? We live in a very
Scary time or should I say
We don’t really live at all?

Democracy doesn’t seem to exist
Anymore freedom of
Expression sounds like a catchphrase and
If you want to be an artist
In this day and age
You better have strong arms
You better be prepared
To swim upstream in shark-infested waters you
Better have thick skin because
When those Fascist
Dictators posing as righteous men come
For you with their big leather
Boots to shut you up, to put a
Gag in your mouth, to send you
Away to a penal colony, you better
Be prepared to fight for what you believe
In i used to think I
Had thick skin, but right now, it
Feels like I have no skin
Like I have been skinned alive you better be
Prepared to die for what you believe in

"…in what will go down in history as
The greatest demonstration for freedom in
The history of our nation five score
Years ago, a great American
In whose symbolic shadow we stand
Signed the Emancipation Proclamation…"

"I think… I think he has no one to
… to help him i guess I’m… I’m
Lost i just feel I need to… to
Create some… some frame in my mind
You know? To not feel so lonely"

I don’t sleep anymore i’ve lost my appetite
I don’t feel safe lots of people
Don’t feel safe that’s why I want to
Start a revolution but this revolution
Will not be televised it will not be
On the Internet it won’t be
An app available on your iPhone you
Won’t be able to download it

This will be the revolution
Of thinking for yourself
Of having your own opinion and
Not giving a damn
What people say this will be a revolution
Of inquiring further, of not worrying
About winning other people’s approval
Of not wishing
You were someone else, but perfectly content
To be who you are
Someone unique and rare and fearless

I want to start a revolution of love

And this revolution will overcome
All fear and
All suffering and all separation and it
Will include all people black
White, Christian, Chinese
Muslim, Jew, gay, straight, bisexual, fat
Thin, handicapped, rich, poor
Artistic and autistic fuck labels i
Hate labels we’re all in
This ship together, sailing like a burning
Sphere across the sea burn, baby, burn

"My country
‘tis of thee sweet land of liberty land where
My fathers died land of the pilgrim’s pride"

I feel that people are becoming more
And more afraid of people
Who are different people are becoming
More and more intolerant!

We want to fight for the right to be
Free! To be who we are! Yes! Yes!
This is a very scary time
But we can make a difference! We
Can change this! We have the
Power! And we don’t have to do
It with violence we just
Have to do it with love jesus preached this
Muhammad preached this buddha
Preached this moses
Preached this it’s in every holy book love
Thy neighbor as thyself, ok? So
You cannot use religion to treat other
People badly you cannot use
God’s name to treat other people
Badly we all deserve love

I feel naked and alone i’m sure
You can relate sometimes I
Want to beat myself up sometimes
I say to myself
"Why didn’t I wait? Why did I listen to all
Those voices in my head? Why didn’t I
Have patience? Why did I let all that doubt
Into my head? Into my belief system? Why?"

I know what you’re thinking "If
You can’t take the heat, get out
Of the kitchen" But it’s too late
I am in the kitchen
And the burner’s on full blaze

I want to start a revolution are you with me?

"Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrim’s
Pride from every mountain side
Let freedom ring"

Freedom is what you do with what’s been
Done to you - Jean-Paul Sartre

This film is dedicated to those who
Have been persecuted, are being persecuted
Or may
Be persecuted for the color of their skin
Their religious beliefs, their
Artistic expression, their gender or their
Sexual preferences anyone
Whose human rights have been violated
