A man walks into a courtroom
Trying to plead his case
His judgment not pa**ed on the truth
But on the color of his face
Some cups are overflowing
While others go bone-dry
You must look at who's holding the pitcher
To see where these problems arise
So how can we sit here idling by,
As we watch our brothers and sisters die?
We spread the pain we know so well
While this heaven on earth is turning to hell
And I ask, "How long must we wait?
How long must we wait, for a new solution?
How long must we wait,
How long must we wait for a resolution?
How long must we wait,
How long must we wait for some evolution?
How long must we wait,
How long must we wait for revolution?"
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
From the day we were born we've been told what to do
Yellow black white Christian m**m and Jew
We need a world without prejudice
But to you we're of them, instead of with us
With your palms in the sky and your guns on the ground
I can feel the vibration and hear their sharp sound
Taking away what you claim you have given
Democracy is great but you forgot about living
What about living
So how can we sit here idling by,
As we watch our brothers and sisters die?
We spread the pain we know so well
While this heaven on earth is turning to hell
And I ask, "How long must we wait?
How long must we wait, for a new solution?
How long must we wait,
How long must we wait for a resolution?
How long must we wait,
How long must we wait for some evolution?
How long must we wait,
How long must we wait for revolution?"
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
Oh, how long must we wait?
How long, how long
How long, how long
Oh, how long must we wait?
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long must we wait?
