now is the time
choose your revolution
be careful how you pick ‘em
one is caused by the other’s solution
now is the time
when you don’t call we’ll understand
it’s hard to find a moment to spare
living day to day in this dry land
constitution prostitution
institution evolution
execution restitution
revolution pollution</i>
update (figured you might like this one):
now is the time
it’s all about might doesn’t matter who’s right
we need to feel in control
we need to save everybody else’s soul
now now now now
now is the time
buy push pull steal borrow lend stand kneel
listen loosen moisten glisten slower faster blow the pistons
update: i was going to say that i want to record this tune and American Dream Town together. they go together musically and lyrically (oh and since i first posted i’ve worked out all the music to this tune). so i rooted around the archives and realized i never put those lyrics here before! well, here we go:
would you believe i don’t have them on this computer! ha ha! well, i’ll type the second verse and chorus:
Don’t hate me cuz I’m beautiful / Don’t go lookin’ for my long lost soul / Some time and money is all you need / They’ll give you a shot and start to kneed / Yer face like dough there’s no need to know / Yer true light within just spin spin spin / Slap a logo on yer chest / Don’t worry about the rest
In this town / This American town / This dream town / This American Dream Town…
also: regarding Revolution Pollution’s chorus–this was originally just a stream of words but then I started putting them together (I have masturbation education stored away for live shows :) in ways that kinda made sense, except if you do take them to be meaningful, then the lines are badthing-goodthing-goodthing-badthing, respectively. ??
