The O.C. Supertones - Return Of The Revolution lyrics

rate me

There ain't no stopping us now

I'd like to say that from the outset

Not up in this business just to get what we can get

But bet that

We gonna bring it to you loud and clear

How loud I gotta say it 'fore you people start to hear

I can name our problems

But I know a solution

Bring back the revolution.

The revolution comes and we all stand as on

Rises from the darkness and shines like the sun

As the sun gets higher, our church catches fire

Down from our pride and up from the mire.

It's a dream that I've had and I hope it comes true

I forgot to say the revolution starts with you.

See wisdom and knowledge is one thing that we lack

You've been a Christian how long and you're still on similac

So I call on Martin Luther and all the reformation back

Then the common people couldn't read God's revelation

You had to be a monk or a priest or read Latin

That was all before the revolution happened

But the fire cooled down ever since that generation

We put down the Bible and pick up the play station

And we can't defend our faith 'cause we don't even know it

We say we love his word but pick a funny way to show it.

The world walks by and we don't have a thing to say

I call 'em as I see 'em

And that's what I see today

Chorus:

The revolution returns

The reformation lives on

The great awakening is now

Sleepers open your eyes

A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise

No compromise, yeah, no compromise

A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise

So throw your fist up and pray the revolution rise

A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise

Our hearts have grown so cold

And we've such numb souls

But shirts and bumper stickers

Man we got 'em by the truckload

Is true religion what you have around your wrist

What does the scripture say of this

They honor me with words

But their hearts are far away

I call 'em like I see 'em

And that's what I see today

So I call on John Edwards

Who preached us all awake

We try to be emotional but here is our mistake

As a church we lack repentance and we lack true affection

Not only in our minds but our hearts need correction

And man that's true religion, resignation and contrition

To love each other so much that we'd die before division

(chorus)

So what about you

Will you join us

Will you admit that the waters around us have grown

You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone

Do you stand with us or do we stand alone

It's time that we stand up, enlist for the war

I've tasted battle and now I want more

I've known the truth and been cut to the core

But I'm back in the game to even the score

And I mean to go out with both my guns blazing

Amazed at a God who's so truly amazing

To triumph in battle as the spirit enables

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