Jamiroquai - Revolution 1993 Lyrics
(this is one of my favorites, listen to the drums, and both flute and trumpet solos)Written by jay kay and toby smithYes youve got to stand up, stay strong, start moving in the right direction,Dont wait too long, for people promising divine interventionNineteen nine three, now Im taking matters into my own handsSo fast, I cant seeA revolution is the only way we can change, change, changeI wanna fight the power!Well its hard times, white lines,kids of nine getting down with gun crimeWar zones, no homes, aint it the time we gave the dog a boneSay brothers, sisters, get up and put yourself in the pictureThis time you know a revolution is the only way we can change, change, changeI want to fight the power!Question, answer, shake your hand and smile for the cameraBut its no good you should spend time in your neighbourhoodWhere black kids, white kidsNow youre working overtime to be a crack kidNo job, no cash,A revolution is the only way we can change, change, changeI wanna fight the power!Still we dont seem to understand we need a revolution,Everubody wants a revolutionNow who is this man, Im having trouble knowing where Im coming fromPre-conceptions, its eternal human infectionOne chance, learn how youre gonna change the habit of a lifetime my soul, concerned,That revolution is the only way that we can change, change, changeI wanna fight the power!Higher, higher, now were gonna learn how to fight the powerSunshine, new day, I only know how to go to the right wayFaster, stronger I help my brother and my soul lives longerBlinded I cant seeA revolution is the only way that we can change, change, changeI wanna fight the power!No doubt in time, everything is sweet sunshine but in theMeantime, mankind is having trouble where to draw the lineWe still dont, respect, and yet I thought we had intellectSometimes I think the music is the only hope we have for revolutionStill we dont seem to understand we need a revolutionEverybody needs a revolution!
