Will the revolution come? Well, that's what they all say Will the revolution come? Well, then that will be the day Will the revolution come? Then put your fist in the air Will the revolution come? You better get out of your chair Because we won't wise up So how can we rise up? Tired of being enslaved Will the revolution come? Will anything change? Will the revolution come? Well, I've heard that before Will the revolution come? Well, I'll try not to act too bored Because each generation's mess is bigger Than the one before them has made Will the revolution come? Can we be saved? Because we won't wise up So how can we rise up? Tired of being enslaved Will the revolution come? Will anything change? Will the revolution come? You better not run and hide Will the revolution come? You've gotta stand, for our side Because the only prison is in our minds The only chains are our apathy Will the revolution come? Just wait and see
