lyrics

Revolution Street

There’s no concealing
When they’re controlling
Everything we try to be

But firm they will stand
With their Demands
For equality

Take me down
Where I can meet
The girls of Revolution Street

Take me down
Where I can meet
The girls of Revolution Street

It’s no wonder
You hear their thunder
Though a word they need not speak

They’re willing to endure
Disappearing on the floor
For what they believe

Take me down
Where I can meet
The girls of Revolution Street

Take me down
Where I can meet
The girls of Revolution Street

Can’t show your hair in Freedom Square
Can’t yell out loud why it ain’t fair
Let the ripple become a wave
And let it wash them away

Everyone talking ‘bout just, Tell me out does it help?
Talk is cheap politicians do it all by themselves
Equality is a word we like to use
How many willing to find, I suspect only a few
But we got brave girls, showing us today
How to fight in a peaceful way
We got brave women in Iran
Risking their lives I know what side I’m on
Brave women in North America
Standing up to all the sexual misconduct
Brave children in the USA
Fighting the semi-automatic rifles of the NRA
Brave Nations who were here first
Fighting for 400 years for what they deserve
I know what’s right I know what to do
I’m standing with the L-G-B-T and Q
Look to the past to see who’s lives are shattered
That’s why I don’t mind yelling Black Lives Matter

These are the people I’d like to meet
Down on Revolution Street
These are the people
They’ll knock you down for what you believe
Gotta stand your ground on Revolution Street
Stand your ground on Revolution Street
