We Need A Revolution

(I)
I never said it was easy
They didn't give us a chance
We’re not the land of the free
Believe what you want to believe

But that’s how it has to be

What rights do we have?
They don’t exist can’t you see?
We don’t have control
Big names run you and me

And that’s how it has to be

Forget that we’re a country
Forget that we have any laws
Just forget that there’s cause and effect
And learn how to live

Forget that we’ve been neglected
Forget that we’re under stated
Forget that we’re underestimated
We have to prove ourselves

And we can’t do it alone

They’ll break your backs
And they’ll stone your minds
Just remember what I said,
and we’ll never fall behind

Forget that we’re a country
Forget that we have any laws
Just forget that there’s cause and effect
And learn how to live

Forget that we’ve been neglected
Forget that we’re understated
Forget that we’re underestimated
We have to prove ourselves

And no we can’t do it alone

(II)
Yeah we know what we want to see,
Got nowhere to go and nowhere to be
A victim of society
Scream and scream,
those sobs of apathy!

Yeah we’re all just fed up with what we’re fed
and we won’t be tucked quietly into bed
My countrymen I beg,
and my countrymen I plead,
revolution, revolution!
We want to be freed!

My countrymen I beg,
and my countrymen I plead,
revolution, revolution!
We need to be freed!

Give it all time and there will be a price to pay
Straight out the door and they’ll have their way
I’m not asking much,
just doing the right thing!

My countrymen I beg,
and my countrymen I plead,
revolution, revolution!

We have to be freed!

We have to be freed!

(III)
It’s a straight arrow,
and a crooked target
Open up your eyes,
or do I have to mark it?

Sometimes the top,
crumbles before the rest.
And sometimes we stop,
when we’re at our best

So all I ask is a simple,
a simple set task,
pretend that this sip,
is the last from your flask

Live life in the moment,
but think about our state
Live life, don’t destroy it
Live to create

Share what you know,
and no one will stop you
That’s all I ask,
I hope you learned something new

(IV)
But sometimes,
I wonder if it’s all true
Sometimes,
the media gets to you

I don’t see,
the world at large
I can’t see,
exactly who’s in charge

So shoot for the stars
So shoot for the stars
So shoot for the stars

We’ll be far,
away,
from here

A new place,
to call,
our home

A new place,
to start,
on our own

I like this. Especially II and III.

Thanks. I just want people to know the truth.

I like the same but I am of the mind that a true revolution is the only way to save US. U R so correct but who will care? I fear the destiny of the Roman empire, I only am saddened that it happened in my lifetime and that of my children

Thank you! It's refreshing to see other people with the same thought processes.. except I'm sure we all know how a revolution would go over in today's society: not well.. :P Anyways, thanks a lot for your opinions.
