Everyone loves a revolution
spin in a circle, ’til it comes round
everyone loves a revolution
’til it’s on your doorstep, ’til it’s on your ground

I got complaints, I can’t deny
I got concerns, keep me awake at night
and I got my problems with the way of the world, see
But I’m not a soldier and I never will be

The tv’s like a fast car
they’re cheering it on
Revolutions per minute
and the Beatles’ song:
“you say you want a revolution”
make sure it’s the one you want …

Everyone loves a revolution
all the liberty they bring
everyone loves a revolution
but one man’s Che
is another man’s King

You never know
what you’ll get when tyrants fall
and a revolution’s just a circle
after all

The radio’s a fast car
they’re singing along
revolutions per minute
and the Muse song:
you can “stand up and take the power back”
it’s easy to sing,
but would you do it if they asked?

Easy to say
far away, oh so safe
No sacrifice
ain’t that nice
just you wait ’til it comes
who’ll be the chosen ones?

‘Cause everyone loves a revolution
spin in a circle, ’til it comes round
everyone loves a revolution
’til it’s on your doorstep, it’s on your ground

I got complaints, I can’t deny
I got concerns, keep me awake at night
and I got my problems with the way of the world, see
But I’m not a soldier. I never will be

The tv’s like a fast car
they’re cheering it on
Revolutions per minute
and the Beatles’ song:
“you say you want a revolution”
careful of what you want …
You say you want a revolution …
