Lyrics
The Revolution
Written by Ts Tunes
Look at the world today
For some it's like paradise, for some it's like a grave
So much poverty, people living in the streets
There is money for war but no help for the poor
We need a revolution
Blood on the water
Smoke in the air
Sounds of destruction
Chaos everywhere
who will survive the revolution
Those with more than enough
Make it hard for those who have it rough
Those who feed their greed but starve those in need
We need a revolution
Blood on the water
Smoke in the air
Sounds of destruction
Chaos everywhere
who will survive the revolution
The cost of medicine is so high
If you can't afford it you will die
Children in despair because no one seems to care
We need, we need, we need a revolution
Blood on the water
Smoke in the air
Sounds of destruction
Chaos everywhere
who will survive the revolution
