lyrics

Wake up to your inner strength
It’s been asleep too long
Don’t just sit around and moan
When you see something’s wrong
Nothing ever changes
If no one stands up to fight
The liberties people took
Are what we now think of as rights
The rulers won’t give nothing
Unless we take it for ourselves
The alternative’s to live
In their authoritarian hell
The rest of your life getting up
And doing work that you hate
Don’t you think you owe yourself
A more inspiring fate?

The revolution is now
The revolution is here
It’s in your heart, it’s in your mind
All that holds it back is fear
It’s in the actions of humankind
The revolution’s true
Believe in your own strength
The revolution is you

Wake up to reality
Nothing’s gonna improve
If everybody sits around
We’re all destined to lose
Forget the empty promises
The politicos’ lines
Whether radical or mainstream
They’re all neutered by design
The parliamentary process
Was designed to keep at bay
Attempts by real people
To have a proper say
Revolutionary ideas
Once in power will always wane
It’s been proved throughout history
And will be proved again

The revolution is now
The revolution is here
It’s in your heart, it’s in your mind
All that holds it back is fear
It’s in the actions of humankind
The revolution’s true
Believe in your own strength
The revolution is you

Wake up to the cold hard facts
Real change comes from below
It’s the only way
You’ll ever change the status quo
Just don’t get caught
And try to keep your name off their computers
With enough concerted effort
We’ll create a better future

The revolution is now
The revolution is here
It’s in your heart, it’s in your mind
All that holds it back is fear
It’s in the actions of humankind
The revolution’s true
Believe in your own strength
The revolution is you
