Jamiroquai - Revolution 1993 lyrics

rate me

You've got to stand up, stay strong start movin' in the right direction

Don't wait, too long, for people promising divine intervention

19 nine three, now I'm taking matters into my own hands

So fast, I can't see

A revolution is the only way that we can change change change

I wanna fight the power

Well it's hard times, white lines, kids of nine gettin' down with gun crime

War zones, no homes, ain't it time we gave the dog a bone

Say brothers, sisters, step up and put yourself in the picture

This time you know a revolution if the only way that we can change change change

I want to fight the power

Question, answer, shake your hand and smile for the camera

But it's no good you should spend time in your neighbourhood

Where black kids, white kids

Now you're working overtime to be a crack kid

No job, no cash, a revolution is the only way that we can change change change

I wanna fight the power

Still we don't seem to understand we need a revolution

Everybody wants a revolution

Who is, this man, I'm having trouble finding out where I'm coming from

Preconceptions, it's eternal human infection one chance,

Learn how you're gonna change the habit of a lifetime my soul, concerned,

That revolution is the only way that we can change change change

I wanna fight the power

Higher, higher, now we're gonna learn to fight the power

Sunshine, new day, I only know how to get the right way

Faster, stronger, I help my brother and my soul lives longer

Blinded, I can't see

That revolution is the only way that we can change change change

I wanna fight the power

No doubt, in time, everything is sweet sunshine

But in the meantime, mankind, is having trouble where to draw the line

We still don't, respect, and yet I thought we had intellect

Sometimes I think the music is the only hope we have for revolution

Still we don't seem to understand we need a revolution

Everybody needs a revolution
