I Can Touch the Revolution from My Home
I was out
I was living
In the slum
Of a revision
Of a nightmare legend
When I'm on
History Channel
I look for birds
To hit my window
I can touch
From my home
Revolution
Bandit man
Bandit vision
Bandit slum
Bandit revision
Of a nightmare legend
When I'm on
NBC
I look for you
And look in me
I can touch
From my home
Revolution
So that when you talk about the masses of black people
The precious poor and working-class black people
Poor working class brown, red, yellow whatever color
They're the ones who feel left out
And they feel so thoroughly powerless, helpless, hopeless
Then you get rebellion
And we've reached a point now
It's a choice between nonviolent revolution
And by revolution I mean is the democratic sharing of power
Resources, wealth and respect
If we don't get that kind of sharing
You're gonna get more violent explosions
I was out
I was living
In the slum
Of a revision
Of a nightmare legend
I was living
In the slum
Of a revision
Of a nightmare legend
When I'm on
History Channel
I look for birds
To hit my window
I can touch
From my home
Revolution
Bandit man
Bandit vision
Bandit slum
Bandit revision
Of a nightmare legend
When I'm on
NBC
I look for you
And look in me
I can touch
From my home
Revolution
So that when you talk about the masses of black people
The precious poor and working-class black people
Poor working class brown, red, yellow whatever color
They're the ones who feel left out
And they feel so thoroughly powerless, helpless, hopeless
Then you get rebellion
And we've reached a point now
It's a choice between nonviolent revolution
And by revolution I mean is the democratic sharing of power
Resources, wealth and respect
If we don't get that kind of sharing
You're gonna get more violent explosions
I was out
I was living
In the slum
Of a revision
Of a nightmare legend
