When the truth it strikes you like a lightning rod And you can't hold it in anymore Then the pressure builds to breaking point And the lion starts to roar Cry, out, the sound of our fury We shall stand as judge and jury The beast and the whore, shall stand by the law And we shall sound the call Come, come, come the revolution Hold us down and we shall rise Come, come, come the revolution Raise our voices to the skies They're thinking the unthinkable And feed us cock and bull We've been drinking the undrinkable But now the cup is full We're taking a stand and staking the land That lies beneath our feet The web of lies have come unspun The future has begun Come, come, come the revolution Hold us down and we shall rise Come, come, come the revolution Raise our voices to the skies Come, come, come the revolution Come, come, velvet revolution Come, come, come the revolution Come, come, viva la revolucion Come, come, come the revolution Hold us down and we shall rise Come, come, come the revolution Raise our voices to the skies
