Bloodless Revolution Lyrics

People wanna fight for fun
But what is a battle when the war's already been won
People wanna break what's built
There's no use crying when the milk's already been spilt
Here's a needle, here's a thread
Sew yourself up, clear your head
Here's a needle, here's a thread
Oh no, I meant exactly what I said

You might find that you're useless
No better than a hole in the ground
You might find that you're useless
No better than a hole in the ground

Look at all the cavemen goin'
Turning over to the shore
Ohhh

I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution
I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution
I'm only looking for a bloodless revolution

Cover art for Bloodless Revolution lyrics by Coldplay

The lyrcs are definitely 'clear your head'. It just makes sense, and also rhymes with the rest of the song. So, yeah.

Fabulous leaked song! They're a little self explanatory, really. I think that's why this demo never got followed through - the lyrics were too precise about the certain issue of war. The first lyric says it all:

"People wanna fight for fun But what is a battle when the war's already been won?"

Why are people fighting? Why do we continue to have conflict in the world? I think 'bloodless revolution' means the writer wants to have a revolution (make a change, stand up for what's right) without any violence.

The singer may be talking to a soldier who had been fighting in a war, and was traumatised by the whole ideal? Not sure. Could explain the chorus though. ^^

Definitely a fantastic demo. I wish they'd recorded it. I like the whole song except the You might find that you're useless No better than a hole in the ground You might find that you're useless No better than a hole in the ground
