lyrics

WAITING FOR THE REVOLUTION

THROUGH THE PAGES OF HISTORY
REVOLUTION’S GUIDED ME
OH I CAN SEE THE PEOPLE, I COULD FEEL THE PEOPLE’S PAIN

DON’T YOU TELL ME YOU DON’T KNOW WHY
SO MANY YOUNG MEN HAVE TO DIE
WE’LL IT’S POWER TO THE PEOPLE
POWER TO THE REBEL WAY

I’M WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION
FOR THE REVOLUTION
I'M WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION
WAITING FOR THE REVOLUTION TO SET ME FREE

PROTEST MARCHERS GATHERING
RIOT COPS THEY'RE LATHERING
OH I CAN SEE THE PEOPLE, I COULD FEEL THE PEOPLES RAGE

DON’T YOU TELL ME YOU DON’T KNOW WHY
SO MANY YOUNG MEN HAVE TO DIE
WE’LL IT’S POWER TO THE PEOPLE
POWER TO THE REBEL WAY

I’M WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION
FOR THE REVOLUTION
I'M WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION
WAITING FOR THE REVOLUTION TO SET ME FREE

NOW DON’T YOU TELL ME YOU DON’T KNOW WHY
SO MANY YOUNG MEN HAVE TO DIE
WE’LL IT’S POWER TO THE PEOPLE
POWER TO THE REBEL WAY

I’M WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION
FOR A REVOLUTION
I'M WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION
FOR A REVOLUTION, YEAH
I'M WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION
I'M WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION, OH
WAITING FOR THE REVOLUTION
TO SET ME FREE.....ONE DAY
