Lyrics
What's the story yeah what's going down?
I see some lips moving but I can't hear them make a sound
I'm sick of waiting here for something profound
Now you need to believe it's time to call those bastards out
Cause the kids are not right
And your t.v. set lies
So stand up and fight
Three cheers for revolution
It's my home, my flag, my pistol
Three cheers for revolution
Hands up, this time with feeling
Now it's so hard to get out of bed
With so many people talking and they don't mean a word they said
Keeps you brain dead and corn fed
It's time to start a revolution in the head
Cause the kids are not right
And your t.v. set lies
So stand up and fight
No this shit is not right
If you want to survive
You gotta stand up and fight
Three cheers for revolution
It's my home, my flag, my pistol
Three cheers for revolution
Hands up, this time with feeling
