Revolution lyrics Flogging Molly

Revolution

I spent 27 years in this factory
And the bossman says you're not what we need
The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed
It's a solitary life when you have mouths to feed
But who cares about us

Now I'm back on the streets with my hands held shut
I'm a working man without any work
Well is this the way it's meant to be
Because I signed off of the American Dream
Now, I write my name to the welfare sheet
The money in the bank - well that's history

So take me down to where the worlds collide
Need to be here 'till I'm satisfied
So let the revolution begin

Now I drag these bones cross the barren land
Where once a city now an outstretched end
We can't lose our sense of dignity
While the fat race cats they fuck the creed
Another disappearing act calls up the sleep
While the church is on our back see the refugee

So take me down to where the worlds collide
I need to be here 'till I'm satisfied
There'll come a day when all of us will show
We all feel free!
Although we crash it we will burn
Let the revolution
The revolution begin

I spent 27 years in this factory
Now the bossman says you're not what we need
The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed
It's a solitary life when you have mouths to feed

So take me down to where the worlds collide
Need to be here when I'm satisfied

So take me down to where the worlds divide
And you'll be here
I won't compromise

There'll come a day when all of us will show
We'll all feel free
'cause from the ashes we will grow!
So let
The Revolution
Begin!
