Pretenders - Revolution lyrics
[Pretenders - Revolution lyrics]
As we watch the children play
Remember, it was me and you so far away
The things we got out to do
The fond fear of danger
That's what sets us apart
Couldn't wait for the real world
To test the strength of the lion's heart
Cats like me and you have got laws
That they adhere to laws outside the laws
As laid down by those we don't subscribe to
The world is getting stranger
But we'll never lose heart
We can't just wait for the old guard to die
Before we can make a new start
Bring on the revolution keep the pressure on
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something (nothing)
Bring on the revolution
Don't wanna die for nothing
(something, something)
For every freedom fighter
I want to hold on tighter
To the hope and will you gave
You were the brave, you were the brave
And one day, when I hear your children sing
Freedom will ring, Freedom
When we watch the children play
Remember how the priviliged classes grew
And from this day, we set out
To undo what won't undo
Looking for the grand in the minute
Every breath justifies
Every step that we take to remove what
The powers that be can't prove
And the children will understand why
Bring on the revolution keep the pressure on
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
Don't want to die for nothing
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Remember, it was me and you so far away
The things we got out to do
The fond fear of danger
That's what sets us apart
Couldn't wait for the real world
To test the strength of the lion's heart
Cats like me and you have got laws
That they adhere to laws outside the laws
As laid down by those we don't subscribe to
The world is getting stranger
But we'll never lose heart
We can't just wait for the old guard to die
Before we can make a new start
Bring on the revolution keep the pressure on
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something (nothing)
Bring on the revolution
Don't wanna die for nothing
(something, something)
For every freedom fighter
I want to hold on tighter
To the hope and will you gave
You were the brave, you were the brave
And one day, when I hear your children sing
Freedom will ring, Freedom
When we watch the children play
Remember how the priviliged classes grew
And from this day, we set out
To undo what won't undo
Looking for the grand in the minute
Every breath justifies
Every step that we take to remove what
The powers that be can't prove
And the children will understand why
Bring on the revolution keep the pressure on
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
Don't want to die for nothing
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
