R.e.m. - Revolution lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Your revolution is a silly idea, yeah All your friends are feeling sad It's like you need a reason to be feeling bad, yeah You sport an armband when you're good and mad, yeah La-la, la-la, revolution The future never happened La-la, la-la, revolution I don't know why I'm feeling bad, yeah I picked up a bad vibration Oliver North is running for Senate Bomb the abortion clinic Reagan's defense is the deficit The virus was invented Black men can't get acquitted Of the crimes that we've committed The future never happened It never happened La-la, la-la, revolution The future never happened La-la, la-la, I picked up a bad vibration Your revolution is a silly idea, yeah You tried to look like a punk rock girl A whole lotta sneer, a little curl I don't have time for your theatrics Everybody knows that you're a bad actress We've been sorry for way too long, yeah But the scum is rising, yeah La-la, la-la, revolution The future never happened La-la, la-la, revolution La-la, la-la, revolution The future never happened La, la, la, la, revolution, yeah
