Actually, I think it's about the guy who killed John Lennon:
"Listen while I load my gun
He said to me" - Sorta self-explanatory. Lennon's killer pulling his gun.
"Something 'bout a chosen one
It's comin' back to me" - Lennon being one of the most influential musicians ever, chosen one.
"Watch him while I taste the sun" - Not sure about this one, I'm thinking that Lennon is high.
"He said to me
Something 'bout a chosen one
You'll never be" - Through ending Lennon's life, he took away the chosen one.
"Forty days won't break a man
It was a bullet in his head" - Comparing Lennon to Jesus. I think he's saying that Lennon was the biggest rock star in the world, and his lifestyle didn't kill him. Instead, a bullet did.
In my opinion, Revolution Man refers to Lennon's killer. And I saw an interview with UU's singer about 4 years ago and he said it was about Lennon, but I can't remember exactly what he said. So this is my theory...
