BY JAY WELLER
BROKE FROM THE CHAINS OF THE KING’S GLUTTONY
THE FOUNDERS DECLARED THAT ALL MEN SHALL BE FREE
HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS WITHOUT CUSTODY
AND THEIR LEADERS SHALL SERVE WITH FULL DIGNITY
JUST READ THE CONSTITUTION
HIGH OFFICES HELD BY MEN BOUGHT AND SOLD
FOR POWER, FOR STATUS, FOR TRINKETS AND GOLD
WHO PAY BACK THEIR MASTERS OVER TEN THOUSAND FOLD
THEN BEND DOWN IN CHAMBERS FOR THE COCK BIG AND COLD
AND OTHER FORMS OF PROSTITUTION
SO SINNERS THEY CROWD AND LIARS THEY WAIT
AND EAGERLY PAY FOR TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLAR PLATES
THE PROBLEM WITH KANSAS IS MORE THAN ONE STATE
TO CONQUER A PEOPLE YOU MUST FIRST SEPARATE
BREAK LOOSE FROM THOSE ILLUSIONS
THE POETS IN SLUMBER WILL NOW SCRIBE WITH THEIR PENS
THAT ALL THINGS MUST DIE, TO BE BORN AGAIN
THAT THE TYRANTS’ TIGHT BINDS WILL BUCKLE AND BEND
AND BY THE HIGH TOWERS, ROSES WILL SPRING FROM THE GLEN
IT’S A NATURAL EVOLUTION
SO PICK UP AN AX AND SHARPEN THOSE STONES
BONES, THRONE
WITH CELLULAR PHONES
ITS TIME FOR REVOLUTION
SO LIGHT UP THOSE TORCHES, BURN THE SNAKES IN THEIR CAVES
GRAVE
ENGRAVE
NOW HEED THE REVOLUTION
FROM THE COLD STREETS, A GLORIOUS SPRING
A BILLION FISTS POUNDING ON THE DOORS OF THEIR KINGS
FROM CAIRO, DEMASCUS AND ON TO BEIJING
THOSE CHAINS FOREVER LOOSENED
ACROSS ALL THE LANDS, THE BELLS HAVE BEEN RUNG
CITIES ARE SWARMING WITH THE BOLD AND THE YOUNG
LIKE A THREE HEADED BEAST SPEAKING FIVE TONGUES
ALL MADNESS AND CONFUSION
THAT ENDS IN A WIMPER, USUALLY STARTS WITH A BANG
HEROES AND MARTYRS ARE THE FIRST TO BE SLAIN
IF THEY TEAR DOWN YOUR HOME, YOU MUST BUILD IT AGAIN
ITS ABOUT PLANNING AND COLLUSION
SO PICK UP AN AX AND SHARPEN THOSE STONES
STRIKE DOWN THE STAFF AND SOUND THOSE TROMBONES
VIDEO PHONES
COMMENCE THE REVOLUTION
SO LIGHT UP THE TORCHES, BURN THE SNAKES IN THEIR CAVES
GRAVE, GAVE
ENGRAVE
NOW HEED THE REVOLUTION
FROM THE EARTH’S HOLLOWS AN OMINOUS GROAN
A FAINT DISTANT RUMBLE THAT RISE AND EXPLODE
THE GREATEST SINS GRINDING GOD’S PERFECT ABODE
ARE LIES, GREED, AND POLLUTION
BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF ICE MELTING DOWN
A MILLION DRY ACRES WILL OVERTAKE FERTILE GROUND
MANY BILLION MORE BODIES WILL BE DELIVERED EARTHBOUND
ALL CONNECTED IN SOLUTIONS
ALL IS CLEANED BY THE LIGHT, FIND THE TRUTH THAT YOU CRAVE
SUMMON THE STRENGTH TO BE HOPEFUL AND BRAVE
THEN NOTHING WILL HALT THIS UNSTOPPABLE WAVE
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION
