Revolution Roulette Lyrics
If this machine doesn’t stop, what will you do if it never comes up
Never goes out season
It never stops as it turns, there ain’t no passion yet it burns
Introducing my prison
Losing myself in this place, soon I’m gone without a trace
Freed with that final incision (look)
Look my heart it’s a bird, it needs to sing and to be heard
Now this clock work precision, yeah
And a machine grows idiotic
Who’s gonna be it’s ingenious critic
Everybody loves a perfect solution
To beat the odds against the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never what you gonna get
Everybody’s playing,
Revolution Roulette
Gives you no argument to trade, you can try the key or you can wait
But the lock will not open
So you’re left with sanity to loose, cos the machine is a ruse
Another invention to rule them
It’s like a fistful of snake eyes, hand grenade with bye byes
Like a million spent on nothing
(look) It’s kinda like pick in their lock, where you never went, knock knock
(hello! anybody home? coming in)
With a touch of foreboding
And a machine grows parasitic
Who’s gonna criticize a good critic?
Everybody loves a perfect solution
To beat the odds against the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never what you gonna get
Everybody’s playing,
Revolution Roulette
Everybody has the perfect solution
But its just hard to resist the sweet seduction
There ain’t no trick to winning double what you bet
Welcome to,
Revolution Roulette
Everybody loves a perfect solution
To beat the odds against the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never what you gonna get
Everybody’s playing, Everybody’s playing, Everybody’s playing
Revolution Roulette
Never goes out season
It never stops as it turns, there ain’t no passion yet it burns
Introducing my prison
Losing myself in this place, soon I’m gone without a trace
Freed with that final incision (look)
Look my heart it’s a bird, it needs to sing and to be heard
Now this clock work precision, yeah
And a machine grows idiotic
Who’s gonna be it’s ingenious critic
To beat the odds against the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never what you gonna get
Everybody’s playing,
Revolution Roulette
But the lock will not open
So you’re left with sanity to loose, cos the machine is a ruse
Another invention to rule them
It’s like a fistful of snake eyes, hand grenade with bye byes
Like a million spent on nothing
(look) It’s kinda like pick in their lock, where you never went, knock knock
(hello! anybody home? coming in)
With a touch of foreboding
And a machine grows parasitic
Who’s gonna criticize a good critic?
To beat the odds against the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never what you gonna get
Everybody’s playing,
Revolution Roulette
But its just hard to resist the sweet seduction

Welcome to,
Revolution Roulette
To beat the odds against the poorest possible substitution
What you see is never what you gonna get
Everybody’s playing, Everybody’s playing, Everybody’s playing

I think this song is highly political.
However, I don't think it only has to be tied to politics. I think what Marko is talking about in this song is the ultimate entity. And how each and every one of us feel like we have an "edge" on how to beat it. Be it the government, disease, old age...whatever. We're being "revolutionaries". However, I think we're all playing "russian roulette" with it at the same time because you're gambling one way or another.
"So you're left with sanity to lose, cos the machine is a ruse...another invention to rule them.". The machine was meant to trick us all and rule us. We're all the victims and slaves of reality..
Be it from our own leaders... Our own peers... Ourselves...
But we all think we have the lucky Ace in the hole...
We're gambling...
We're revolutionaries...
We're playing revolution roulette
