Sort of Revolution Lyrics

We've come so far, it feels so real.
All this time, that we've waited for it.
And who we are, and where we're going to.
All this time, preparing for it.

umh, come so far.
umh, come so far.

So let me know when we get there, if we get there.
Let me know when we get there, if we get there.

In the dark it, feels so, real.
And all this time, we've been sleeping on it.
And who we are, and what we're going, through.
All this time, spent saving for it.

umh, come so far.
umh, come so far yeah.

So just let me know when we get there, if we get there.
Let me know when we get there, if we get there.

Come so far, there's no going back.
All this time, we've been running from it.
And where we are , and where we're going to.
We'll organise a sort of revolution.
We'll organise a sort of revolution.
We'll organise a sort revolution.
We'll organise a sort of revolution

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

How can it be anything other than a person/soldier wondering, when your life revolves around completing your mission, "What does winning mean?"

The multiple vocal tracks crooning 'Let me know when...' really make me feel AWE. The speaker, soldier, revolutionary, suitor, dreamer, scientist, whatever, is absolutely in love with the process and the struggle towards the goal and not just with the goal itself. Beautiful--Fink's flexing his muscles here. But still something about the instrumentation feels like the song's just plodding along--there's no punch line, not even at the end with that sort of coda, and I can't find much interest in the track overall. Oh, well.

Joke is, we all have the same punchline.
