Lyrics by Glass and Giblin
rEVOLUTION
listen
have you ever been
lied to or cheated
hated or mistreated
beaten and broken
for your religion
the color of your skin
have you ever been
tempted to utter
words from the gutter
or spit on another
just so you can fit in?
have you ever been?
Then listen
Have you ever turned a blind eye
to something you knew was wrong
Seen evil done to the innocent and
just turned around and walked along
Have you ever chosen to
Conform with the majority
Because you were terrified of what might come
If youre a member of the minority
Then listen
(listen,)
Have you ever been
Harassed and fearful
Ignored and tearful
Too sad to speak
In front of the people
used to be your friends
left you for popularity
Its all vulgarity
Or youre the one
left your friend behind
knowing if she could speak her mind
the truth would scorch your soul
have you ever been
then listen
Lets avoid that catastrophic conclusion
That waits for us at journeys end
if we dont find a solution to
Expedite the human souls evolution
We need to propagate a psychic revolution
choose to honor the light with dignity
choose to shed your cloak of hypocrisy
drink deep from wisdoms cup
before you speak
and before you speak
you better listen
Cain smote his brother Abel
Though they lived in a promised land
Its been the same old story
Almost since time began
Each of us is a minority of one
Each one of us must choose to fight
In a bloodless revolution where we
Each choose to do what we know is right
And then we must listen
listen
Have you ever been
Chided, derided
Your spirit debrided
Or maybe you watched
Afraid and silent
too upset to speak
shocked at the scene
open your mouth
wanting scream
led away from your chosen path
tempted to bow to the sinisters wrath
epithets rise and crash like thunder
sling sinew, bone, and soul asunder
has it made you stop and wonder
have you ever been tempted
have you ever been
then listen
Lets avoid that catastrophic conclusion
That waits for us at journeys end
if we dont find a solution to
Expedite the human souls evolution
We need to propagate a psychic revolution
choose to honor the light with dignity
choose to shed your cloak of hypocrisy
drink deep from wisdoms cup
before you speak
and before you speak
you better listen
Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight
Stand up, speak out for what you know is right
Rise up, head out, take it to the streets
Stand up and speak out for what you believe
Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight
Stand up, speak out for what you know is right
speak up, shout out for what you believe in
stand up and shout out for unity and freedom
stand up and speak out
for unity and freedom
(listen)
