Cygnet Committee Lyrics

Cover art for Cygnet Committee lyrics by David Bowie

It\'s about Bowie realizing the world wasn\'t going to change like he and all the other people in the movements of the sixties thought it would. It\'s about blessing people who are still fighting the power, as he prepares to leave the arena. It\'s about sitting and listening to talks of revolution and realizing that you and your friends have become part of the machine, and that the revolution will never happen. It purges the guilt, love and failed dreams of his generation.
