SONS OF THE REVOLUTION

(Tonio K.)

you're such a brilliant young crusader

you just got out of school

you've got twenty years of knowledge

that you finally get to use

yes you've got your valiant motives

and you think you've got the tools

but you'd better watch the shadows

'cause they're all watching you

you'd better duck behind a wall of stone

and figure your next move

you've come here to heal the sick

well good for you

but you'd better first go home

and learn the rules

It's a game alright they're playin'

but it ain't like on tv

nobody shakes hands when it's over

and there ain't no referee

and the stands are full of broken men

and the field's grown up in weeds

and the winners get your children

yeh they do just what they please

and they'll cut you for no reason

'cept they want to watch you bleed

so forget everything you've heard or read or seen

it's a game alright they're playin'

but they're playin' it for keeps

sons of the revolution

you're here to save the day

but it ain't none of you business

and you're only in the way

sons of the revolution

better get out while you can

'cause there's no one here that wants a helping hand

once upon a time they told you

love makes the world go 'round

now that's getting hard to buy

as you stare across the wasteland

and you watch the planet die

you once heard that everybody's equal

but you're learning that too is a lie

there's a couple thousand people

that own it all, got all the rights

and it's greed that makes the world go 'round

and it's bound to start a fire

and yes there's three billion sleeping people gonna burn

and you think by now they would have got the word

sons of the revolution

you're here to save the day

but it ain't none of you business

and you're only in the way

sons of the revolution

better get out while you can

'cause there's no one here that wants a helping hand
