The Revolution
I'm the type of kid to push away girls like you who get too close to me
This ain't your front porch on Division Street
Where you crashed your car and then you blamed it on a sneeze
Well God bless you, Darling, I mean it
You're the type of girl who said she don't believe in God
But you believed in me
We never missed our opportunity here
We just grew up until we found some room to breathe
Well, God bless us, Darling, we need it
We need a revolution
Why else are we standing here? Yeah
Take off our gloves, put down our guns
'til everyone sings, yeah!
We're the type of kids who burned the whole damn forest down
We looked like criminals, how we got alive
It's biblical, and I felt something strange behind my knees
Well, nothing exists 'til you see it
We can turn back now or we can burn a whole nother town
Everybody gets out, it's just that night we don't talk about
I'm sick of life decisions, this cut dry life we live in
If I did you wrong I'm sorry, you're just, just so God damn pretty
Yeah, why else are we standing here? Yeah
Take off our gloves, look towards the sun
'til everyone sings, yeah!
If I sang you to sleep would you listen?
I'd tell you all the things that I've been missin'
When words flow like river bends, I burned to many cigarettes
At home, where did you go?
I hated you for leaving, got sick of writing letters on the weekend
My thoughts were clear like cellophane, I had to see you face to face
At home, so where do we go?
Now that we're both standing here, yeah
We'll take off our gloves, put down our guns
'til everyone sings, sings, sings!
We need a revolution
Why else are we standing here? Yeah
Take off our gloves, look towards the sun
'til everyone sings!
Yeah!
We need a revolution
We need a revolution
Yeah!
This ain't your front porch on Division Street
Where you crashed your car and then you blamed it on a sneeze
Well God bless you, Darling, I mean it
You're the type of girl who said she don't believe in God

We never missed our opportunity here
We just grew up until we found some room to breathe
Well, God bless us, Darling, we need it
We need a revolution
Why else are we standing here? Yeah

Yeah!
We need a revolution
We need a revolution
Yeah!
