Jamiroquai - Revolution 1993 Lyrics

Yes you've got to stand up, stay strong, start moving in the right direction
Don't wait too long, for people promising divine intervention
Nineteen nine three, now I'm taking matters into my own hands
So fast, I can't see a revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

Well it's hard times, white lines, kids of nine getting down with gun crime
War zones, no homes, ain't it the time we gave the dog a bone
Say brothers, sisters, get up and put yourself in the picture
This time you know a revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

Question, answer, shake your hand and smile for the camera
But it's no good you should spend time in your neighborhood
Where black kids, white kids
Now you're working overtime to be a crack kid
No job, no cash a revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

Still we don't seem to understand we need a revolution
Everybody wants a revolution

Now who is this man, I'm having trouble knowing where I'm coming from
Preconceptions, it's eternal human infection
One chance, learn how you're gonna change the habit of a lifetime my soul
Concerned that a revolution is the only way that we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

Higher, higher, now we're gonna learn how to fight the power
Sunshine, new day, I only know how to go to the right way
Faster, stronger I help my brother and my soul lives longer
Blinded I can't see a revolution is the only way that we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

No doubt in time, everything is sweet sunshine but in the
Meantime, mankind is having trouble where to draw the line
We still don't, respect, and yet I thought we had intellect
Sometimes I think the music is the only hope we have for revolution

Still we don't seem to understand we need a revolution
Everybody needs a revolution

Yes you've got to stand up, stay strong, start moving in the right direction
Don't wait too long, for people promising divine intervention
Nineteen nine three, now I'm taking matters into my own hands
So fast, I can't see a revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

Well it's hard times, white lines, kids of nine getting down with gun crime
War zones, no homes, ain't it the time we gave the dog a bone
Say brothers, sisters, get up and put yourself in the picture
This time you know a revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

Question, answer, shake your hand and smile for the camera
But it's no good you should spend time in your neighborhood
Where black kids, white kids
Now you're working overtime to be a crack kid
No job, no cash a revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

Still we don't seem to understand we need a revolution
Everybody wants a revolution

Now who is this man, I'm having trouble knowing where I'm coming from
Preconceptions, it's eternal human infection
One chance, learn how you're gonna change the habit of a lifetime my soul
Concerned that a revolution is the only way that we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power

Higher, higher, now we're gonna learn how to fight the power
Sunshine, new day, I only know how to go to the right way
Faster, stronger I help my brother and my soul lives longer
Blinded I can't see a revolution is the only way that we can change, change, change

Sometimes I think the music is the only hope we have for revolution

Still we don't seem to understand we need a revolution
Everybody needs a revolution
