Supertones - Return Of The Revolution lyrics

rate me

There ain't no stopping us now<br />

I'd like to say that from the outset<br />

Not up in this business just to get what we can get<br />

But bet that<br />

We gonna bring it to you loud and clear<br />

How loud I gotta say it 'fore you people start to hear<br />

I can name our problems<br />

But I know a solution<br />

Bring back the revolution.<br />

The revolution comes and we all stand as on<br />

Rises from the darkness and shines like the sun<br />

As the sun gets higher, our church catches fire<br />

Down from our pride and up from the mire.<br />

It's a dream that I've had and I hope it comes true<br />

I forgot to say the revolution starts with you.<br />

See wisdom and knowledge is one thing that we lack<br />

You've been a christian how long and you're still on similac<br />

So I call on martin luther and all the reformation back<br />

Then the common people couldn't read god's revelation<br />

You had to be a monk or a priest or read latin<br />

That was all before the revolution happened<br />

But the fire cooled down ever since that generation<br />

We put down the Bible and pick up the play station<br />

And we can't defend our faith 'cause we don't even know it<br />

We say we love his word but pick a funny way to show it.<br />

The world walks by and we don't have a thing to say<br />

I call 'em as I see 'em<br />

And that's what I see today<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

The revolution returns<br />

The reformation lives on<br />

The great awakening is now<br />

Sleepers open your eyes<br />

A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise<br />

No compromise, yeah, no compromise<br />

A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise<br />

So throw your fist up and pray the revolution rise<br />

A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise<br />

<br />

Our hearts have grown so cold<br />

And we've such numb souls<br />

But shirts and bumper stickers<br />

Man we got 'em by the truckload<br />

Is true religion what you have around your wrist<br />

What does the scripture say of this<br />

<br />

They honor me with words<br />

But their hearts are far away<br />

I call 'em like I see 'em<br />

And that's what I see today<br />

So I call on john edwards<br />

Who preched us all awake<br />

We try to be emotional but here is our mistake<br />

As a church we lack repentance and we lack true affection<br />

Not only in our minds but our hearts need correction<br />

And man that's true religion, resignation and contrition<br />

To love each other so much that we'd die before division<br />

<br />

(chorus)<br />

<br />

So what about you<br />

Will you join us<br />

Will you admit that the waters around us have grown<br />

You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone<br />

Do you stand with us or do we stand alone<br />

It's time that we stand up, enlist for the war<br />

I've tasted battle and now I want more<br />

I've known the truth and been cut to the core<br />

But I'm back in the game to even the score<br />

And I mean to go out with both my guns blazing<br />

Amazed at a God who's so truly amazing<br />

To triumph in battle as the spirit enables<br />

Can't turn back the clock but we can turn the tables
