"Private Revolution" lyrics

"Private Revolution"

If you want a revolution, baby
There is nothin' like your own
You don't have to do all those burning books
Revolutionize at home
Someone been hidin' the pieces
Someone been burnin' down the trees
So we need your revolution, baby
There's a planet to set free

We are the revolution, baby
We come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution, baby
Well, there's nothin' like your own
We are the revolution, baby
We come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothin' like you can't be

Man's been killing the tigers
Turn the green fields into sand
And they're sayin' how much they respect our work
Of God and His fine, old hand
But the world spins on regardless
Which is lucky for you and me
'Cause of all the places in a year's ride from here
She's the only place to be
So come, now

We are the revolution
We come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution, baby
There is nothin' like your own
We are the revolution, baby
We come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothin' you can't be

Don't need a red light, red light
Don't need a blue light, a blue light
Don't need a yellow light, yellow light
Take off from the green light now
Take off from the green light now
Take off from the green light now

We are the revolution, baby
We come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution, baby
There is nothin' like your own
We are the revolution, baby
We come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothin' you can't be
