Lyrics
REVOLUTION (A TRIBUTE TO JOHN LENNON)
When he was a young boy, just a day before today
He was sittin' in a barber's chair, waistin' time away
It was the reckoning day for the man of leisure, as awakening to society
An induction to a world of seizure
For peace and love had died and he
Watched the two-faced hypocrites with their promises and bags of tricks
And the politicians our so-called leaders
And the people surrounding called themselves friends
No on dared help him when will it end
These shadow boxers dropping out with immunities
Every day there's a revolution
Where peace and love is no solution
Every day is the birth of a judgment day
He cried loud, he cried so loud but no one heard him
No one could ever hear above their own voice in a crowd
And though they all gathered together on that day to salute him
No one really knew him, what they knew was what he dreamed was not allowed
And every day there's a revolution
Where peace and love are no solution
Every day is the birth of a judgment day
All he was saying was give peace a chance . . .
And every day there's a revolution
Where peace and love is no solution
Every day is the birth of a judgment day
All he was saying was give peace a chance . . .
