A Strange Bird - Revolution

It's an uphill battle
Or a downward spiral
I don't need no education
Know exactly what I'm saying

That old wolf in sheep's clothing
Pulled the wool over our eyes
The lies come cheap each morning
Now the truth is overpriced

Got the newsroom speakin in tongues
Twistin up our tendencies to change what we've become

Got the newsroom speakin in tongues
Twistin' up transmissions trying to control the outcome

Because freedom ain't forever
Never has been never will be
Someone's always taking over
Don't believe me? Check your history

I said freedom ain't forever no
Freedom ain't forever, never no.

Maybe you don't know this
Cuz your too absorbed (depressed) to notice but
Our culture is diseased
We are dying in the streets

(Maybe) And I was made for a revolution

Every day's a struggle, or every day's a waste
Every one of us is broken just enough to need escape
So we keep comin. Comin and drummin' up the courage
Gonna get up on this stage say our battle wounds were worth it

We were warriors.
And we were meant to be victorious
The story is
That we're not in it for the glory it's
It's in our blood

It's on our blood
We try to walk away but we keep coming back
Such a beautiful addiciton keeps us kickin down the path
We crawl up and over under every obstacle ahead
Chasing all that we were promised
All just hopin' that we get it 'cuz

They promised us freedom
They told us we'd be treated the same and they lied
They taught us to need 'em
Convinced us we couldn't beat 'em even if we tried
Well I
Think it's time we tried

And I
Think it's time we tried

I was made for a revolution
