Queensryche - Revolution Calling lyrics

rate me

For a price I'd do about anything

Except pull the trigger

For that I'd need a pretty good cause

Then I heard of Dr. X

The man with the cure

Just watch the television

Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Got no love for politicians

Or that crazy scene in D.C.

It's just a power mad town

But the time is ripe for changes

There's a growing feeling

That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media

To tell me the truth, tell us the truth

But now I've seen the payoffs

Everywhere I look

Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Revolution calling you

(There's a) Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Gotta make a change

Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I'm tired of all this bullshit

They keep selling me on T.V.

About the communist plan

And all the shady preachers

Begging for my cash

Swiss bank accounts while giving their

Secretaries the slam

They're all in Penthouse now

Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell

I guess Warhol wasn't wrong

Fame fifteen minutes long

Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

I used to think

That only America's way, way was right

But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives

Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies

Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Revolution calling you

(There's a) Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Gotta make a change

Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I used to trust the media

To tell me the truth, tell us the truth

But now I've seen the payoffs

Everywhere I look

Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Revolution calling you

(There's a) Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Gotta make a change

Gotta push, gotta push it on through
