Let's Make History Lyrics
woke up and yet again something isn't right
there is talk about dancing on the barricades but someone special is on my mind
sure enough seems simple but what can I say
there's a million things worth fighting for, like making you stay
you can call me romantic, you can call me what you will
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?
and baby yet again my heart's still red
but it is hard having the energy to fight when everything is spinning around in my head
sure enough seems simple but what can I do
there's a million songs about politics, related to you
you can call me romantic, you can call me what you will
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?
keep on keepin' on, gotta keep the dream alive
keep on keepin' on, gotta make it not just try
keep on keepin' on, gotta keep the dream alive
keep on keepin' on, gotta make it not just try
you can call me romantic, you can call me what you will
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?
let's make history right now...
there is talk about dancing on the barricades but someone special is on my mind
sure enough seems simple but what can I say
there's a million things worth fighting for, like making you stay
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?
but it is hard having the energy to fight when everything is spinning around in my head
sure enough seems simple but what can I do
there's a million songs about politics, related to you
you can call me romantic, you can call me what you will
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?
keep on keepin' on, gotta make it not just try
keep on keepin' on, gotta keep the dream alive
keep on keepin' on, gotta make it not just try
but when I think about the revolution you're still in my dreams
'cause every time I look in the mirror I just want to scream
how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?

"there's a million songs about politics" this song is about actually getting up and protesting/revolting to change something - make history - rather than just talking about it (or writing songs) but then ironically all it seems this is is a song tellin people not to write songs about what this song is about
still a good song tho and i like the way its sort of a love song in that its sayin "come on im going to change everything but i cant do it alone" eg "how are we going to make history when you are not here with me?"
I would like to congratulate this band for writing a song about the way I feel.
