Revolution, Revolutions Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Camb06 

Cover art for Revolution, Revolutions lyrics by Jean Michel Jarre

this song feels to me like the various causes of a revolution. The major one being unfairness. in its few words, it seems to say the leader, government figurehead or something like that, is saying, "These people can have this, but those people can't." The ultimate consequence of each set is the people revolt ("REVOLUTION!")

Towards the end of the song the figurehead is strugling to maintain what little control he has after all the smaller revolutions; more desparate and flustered (he repeats "no" a lot, seeming to hesitate, trying to find the words he shoud say) until he is ultimately defeated in the final "Revolution!"
