Revolution Lyrics
So tell me family now what do you think? Watch it all go down the great big sink. Watch how the scum it rises to the top. DOn't you wonder when it's all gonna stop? Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep, serving the dodgy companies we keep. All kicking and scrounging for the very first place - dictionary defintion of a rat race. Pay off those losers we elect to lead. stealing from the mouths that we're meant to fee. Enslaving the very clothes upon my back, I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm sayin
Running through the fire, running through the flame, running through the hatred, pushing through the blame, running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution already underway
Big heavy pirates man digging those holes, messing with something that they can't control. Trespassing lands where they don't belong, all I hear is screaming whee there once were songs. I got my brothers there fighting those wars, fighting over scraps and scraping their sores. Under a blanket of a fire and pride that can't keep us warm for the cold inside, inside, I'm saying
Running through the fire, running through the flame, running through the hatred, pushing through the blame, running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution already underway
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise? Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake, open my fist my destiny I take! Good people sick and tired of being pushed around, we call them kings but I see no crown. Tell me when you think we'll just stand up? Say enough is enough is enough, enough, I'm saying
Running through the fire, running through the flame, running through the hatred, pushing through the blame, running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution already underway
Take back your feet, take back your hands, take back your words, take back your land. Take back your heart, take back your pride. Don't got to hide. Revolution!

I think this song is about the constant revolution of the world were living in right now. In his own words, "the way i live with the word revolution is that it's like evolution, you cant always see it happening but its always taking place...there's not going to be one epiphany of a day were everything is revolved and all the politicians stop lying...were all part of it and its whether your part of the revolution and if your trying to make a change or not." He's basically reflecting on how bad our contemporary society and how we have to build it back up again. what do you think? comments please........:) x
every person can do a part. everyday, the people you come across. e.t.c. simple deeds

I think you're pretty spot on, jack! Similarly, it's about people revolting against corrupt society ("pay off those losers we elect to lead") and when he says "Tell me when you think we'll just stand up? Say enough is enough is enough" - he's saying, when will we stop sweeping it under the carpet, when we will we stand up for our rights as civilians, and stop these leaders from ruling us which way they please?
Powerful messages. One thing I love about JBT, is that they aren't afraid to speak their minds.
I think it's about mining companies and the government being greedy by destroying aboriginal land and the environment.
