Flogging Molly - Revolution Lyrics
I spent twenty-seven years in this factoryAnd the boss man says, 'hey you're not what we need'The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greedIt's a solitary life when you've mouths to feedBut who cares about us?Now I'm back on the streetsWith my hands held shutI'm a workingman without any workWell is this the way it's meant to beBecause I signed on for the American DreamNow, I write my name to the welfare schemeThe money in the bank, it's historySo take me down to where the worlds collideAnd leave me here 'til I'm satisfiedSo let the Revolution beginNow I drag these bones 'Cross the barren landWhere once a city, now an outstretched handWe can't lose our sense of dignityWhile the fat-faced cats lap up the creamAnother disappearing act falls up their sleevesWhile the shirts on our back seek refugeeSo take me down to where the worlds collideAnd leave me here 'til I'm satisfied'Cause there'll come a day When all of us will show, we won't be afraidAlthough we're crashing, we won't burnLet the Revolution beginI spent twenty-seven years in this factoryAnd the boss man says, 'hey you're not what we need'The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greedIt's a solitary life when you've mouths to feedSo take me down to where the worlds collideAnd leave me here 'til I'm satisfiedDo take me down to where the worlds divideAnd leave me here I won't compromise'Cause there'll come a day When all of us will show, we won't be afraid'Cause from these ashes we will growSo let the Revolution begin...
