Edge Of A Revolution Lyrics
Head high, protest line
Freedom scribbled on your spine
Headline, New York Times
Standing on the edge of a revolution
Hey, hey, just obey
Your secret's safe with the NSA
In God we trust, or the CIA
Standing on the edge of a revolution
Yeah, we're standing on the edge of a revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
No, we won't give up
We won't go away
'Cause we'll never thought to live in this mass delusion
No, we don't wanna hear it, another word that you say
'Cause we know they're out depending on mass confusion
No, we can't turn back, we can't turn away
'Cause it's time we all rely on the lost illusion
No, we won't lay down and accept our fate,
We're standing on the edge of a revolution
Wall streets, common thief
When they get caught, they all go free
A brand new yacht, and a finders fee
Standing on the edge of a revolution
Same shit, different day
Can't keep fed if I can't get paid
We'll all be dead if this shit don't change
Standing on the edge of a revolution
Yeah, we're standing on the edge of a revolution
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
No, we won't give up
We won't go away
'Cause we'll never thought to live in this mass delusion
No, we don't wanna hear it, another word that you say
'Cause we know they're out depending on mass confusion
No, we can't turn back, we can't turn away
'Cause it's time we all rely on the lost illusion
No, we won't lay down and accept our fate,
We're standing on the edge of a revolution
We'll all be dead if this shit don't change
Hey hey hey hey
What do we want? We want change
How we gonna get that? revolution
What do we want? We want change
Standing on the edge of a revolution
What do we want? We want change
How we gonna get that? revolution
What do we want? We want change
Standing on the edge of a revolution
No, we won't give up
We won't go away
'Cause we'll never thought to live in this mass delusion

To me it sounds like a big middle finger to the people who despise Nickelback. They're saying whether you love us or hate it we're here to stay. Especially in the first few lines of the chorus. Good song and I'm glad they're here to stay! \m/
@STP1992 I am really glad as well!! I like Nickelback a lot!! I like their old stuff, their pop stuff, their heavy stuff, and their new stuff! I like it all!! I really don't understand how people do like this band! Seems like my best friend, my brother, my dad, and I are the only ones to like Nickelback! Of course that isn't true, they have to have other fans as well, but I hope you get it!

I actually never thought that this song could be about the anti-fans, never thought about that until now! The nice thing about...
I actually never thought that this song could be about the anti-fans, never thought about that until now! The nice thing about music is, what ever meaning someone puts on it is right!!! I always kind of thought about the US Gov. And we CAN both be right!!! Thanks for being a fan of Nickelback! lol!!
I agree with a prior comment about this being a big FU to those that have slated Nickelback in a rather derogatory fashion in the past.
However, I also think this song's message is one hell of a political statement.
It has to do with all the news media confusing people into thinking what's right and wrong. It's saying that it's not fair for the thieves of Wall Street, the NSA, etc. get away with crimes that they commit and that we the people won't put up with their crap. Revolution is the only way to get them to listen to us. However, they forgot about Charles Ponzi, the inventor of the Ponzi scheme and Bernie Madoff. They got punished for their crimes.
@seeing I agree because of the what that projector is playing in the background of the music video
