lyrics

DON’T CALL IT REVOLUTION

Don’t say it’s done and dusted
We only just got started.
Every age is fed on illusions,
Flesh wounds and soul contusions.
And don’t look so surprised,
Come in here cracking wise.
Life is what happens while you’re waiting for your dreams.

It’s always intellectuals who start a revolution
Bringing down some monarchy for private absolution.
But intellectuals don’t often make the best of shots
And most countrys live to regret the revolutions that they got.

Chorus:
Don’t call it revolution,
Keep it to yourself,
To me it’s all the same.
I don’t know and I don’t care.
This is not a game, I swear.

More for the cheque book than the chakra,
More for the fat one than the fatwa.
Never had a method, only madness,
Running for your life
When life’s what happens while you’re waiting for your dreams.
The time’s still half-past give-a-damn.
Always the bland leading the bland.

Chorus.

Life’s what happens while you’re waiting for your dreams (x4)

Don’t call it revolution,
Keep it to yourself.
It’s all the same to me.

Chorus.
