Sweet Revolution

(from "Chase Your Burden")
Welcome to the New World Order –
Shut yer mouth & get in line.
Trade in yer rags for some sand & body bags –
We’re gonna finish him this time.
Sure, we could hit a few civilians –
Wagin’ peace has got its price.
Time has come, still ain’t found no smokin’ gun – Just a barrel full of lies.

CHORUS:
Sweet Revolution – come & lay these burdens down . Swing your solution – & knock some sense into this town.
Forget about your inner cities – forget about your rural poor -
They don’t vote, so I guess they missed the boat – got no room for them on board.
Forget about your unemployment – forget about your sorry schools - But I’ll cut your tax if you shake my hand out back – Now we’re playing by my rules.

REPEAT CHORUS.

You make big talk about compassion – you try to wear it like some style. With a grin you say you’ll always be our friend – but there’s contempt behind that smile.
I’m tired of all these empty promises – kissin’ babies, shakin’ hands -They’d sell their soul if it helped ‘em in some poll – We need a leader, not a brand.

REPEAT CHORUS
