The Revolution

I'm the type of kid to push away girls like you who get too close to me This ain't your front porch on Division Street where you crashed your car and then you blamed it on a sneeze Well god bless you, darling, I mean it You're the type of girl who said she don't believe in god but you believed in me We never missed our opportunity here we just grew up until we found some room to breathe Well god bless us, darling, we need it We need a revolution Why else are we standing here? Yeah Take off our gloves, put down our guns 'til everyone sings, yeah We're the type of kids who burned the whole damn forest down, we looked like criminals How we got out alive, it's biblical and I, felt something strange behind my knees Well... nothing exists 'til you see it We can turn back now, or we can burn a whole 'nother town everybody gets out it's just that night we don't talk about I'm sick of life decisions, this cut dry life we live in if I did you wrong, I'm sorry, you're just so god damn pretty. Yeah! We need a revolution Why else are we standing here? Yeah Take off our gloves, look towards the sun 'til everyone sings, yeah Whoa whoa-oh Whoa (Yeah!) whoa-oh Whoa oh oh oh oh If I sang you to sleep, would you listen? I'd tell you all the things that I've been missing When words flow like river bends I've burned too many cigarettes at home Where did you go? I hated you for leaving got sick of writing letters on the weekend My thoughts were clear like cellophane I had to see you face to face at home So where do we go? Now that we're both standing here, yeah We'll take off our gloves, put down our guns 'til everyone- sings, sings, sings! We need a revolution. Why else are we standing here? Yeah Take off our gloves, look towards the sun, 'til everyone sings Whoa whoa-oh (Yeah!) Whoa whoa-oh (We need a revolution) Whoa whoa-oh (We need a revolution) Yeah!
