Kate Reid - Revolution Lyrics
Who poured gasoline on his wife in the light of dayShe was sitting in her car, he lit a match and threw it downAnd he watched her go up in flames behind the glassI read about a teenaged girl over in IraqWhose parents dug a grave in their back-yardThey buried her alive, whole family stood by and watched her dieFor talking to some guys out on the streetChorus:Forget the war on terror and all those other useless wars tooWhat about this war on womenThat's right in front of you?How are we going to love our sons and daughters?And teach them loving kindness tooYeah, what are we going to do?Some high school kids were having a party one nightThe graduating class, they were having a good old timeA young dyke was in the crowd, some boys slipped rohipnal in her drinkThen they raped her and don’t tell me that ain’t no hate crimeChorus:Forget the war on terror and all those other useless wars tooWhat about this war on womenThat's right in front of you?How are we going to love our sons and daughtersAnd teach them loving kindness, tooYeah, what are we going to do?Bridge:I knew a baby girl whose grandpoppy done her wrongHe thought no-one was watching him at allBefore she could even talk, he put her down on the bedThen, he walked away when he was done and not a word he saidBut baby girl bodies hold onto bad memories, tooAnd those memories come through when I least expect them toSometimes I break down and cryMy rage burns me up insideThis ain't no revolution until we stop hiding behind our eyesThis ain't no revolution until we look deep insideThis ain't no revolution if we stand silently by and watchThis ain't no revolution if we keep giving them social asylumThis ain't no revolution until we get off the couch and start walkingThis ain't no revolution until we start talking about our livesThis ain't no revolution until we all question authorityThis ain't no revolution until we see where our loyalty liesThis ain't no revolution until we know that rape is a war crimeThis ain't no revolution until we / take back the nightThis ain't no revolution until violence takes his final breathWhat are we going to doChorus-2xForget the war on terror and all those other useless wars tooWhat about this war on womenThat's right in front of you?How are we going to love our sons and daughtersAnd teach them loving kindness, tooYeah, what are we going to do?
