Where's the Goddamn protest music, when we need it most?
::
You say you want a Revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
-- The Beatles
::
Say you want a revolution?
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And out on the street
Singing "Power to the People!"
-- John Lennon
One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry
Hey now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Come on now we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Who will take it from you
We will and who are we
We are volunteers of America
-- Jefferson Airplane
::
It takes a revolution to make a solution
Too much confusion, so much frustration
Never make a politician grant you a favour
They will always want to control you forever
So if a fire make it burn (make it burn, make it burn)
-- Bob Marley
::
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.
-- The Pretenders
::
So-called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
We gotta take the power back!
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
-- Rage Against the Machine
::
Don't you know you're talking about a Revolution
Sounds like a whisper...
-- Tracy Chapman
