When is it time
to burn the house down
to stand there with torches
while it lays on the ground
how much is enough
for a grown man to take
before he acts like a man
and makes 'em pay for mistakes
Revolution...When?
Revolution...When?

when will the revolution come my friend
when will the revolution come
when will the blood of our children bring rage
that we're forced to overcome
put your guns away
we'll not win our war that way
just stand up and be counted
and they'll flee in disarray
Revolution...When?
Revolution...When?

When is it time
to take back what we own
and finally conclude
that silence condones
what's done in our name
or in the name of a Lord
who apparently hates
and lives by the sword
Revolution...When?

Democracy at the point of a gun
got more to do when this one is done
body bags bustin' at the seams
taking out another bad guy regime
no matter that we put him up there
his time is up we do declare
smart bombs falling like a child's balloon
don't worry mom we'll get your boy home soon
do as we say not as we do
or it may reflect poorly on you
we get away with lying like this
'cause you keep putting us here ignorance is bliss
remember katrina and walter reed?
the carlyle group and haliburton greed?
or the coffins whisked away at night
shut out the lights baby...shut out the lights
shut out the lights baby...shut out the lights
Revolution...When?

When is it time
to keep the wolves at bay
by building a pen
inside the beltway
let 'em devour each other
let the strong survive
then send 'em to Baghdad
to try to stay alive
Revolution...When?
