"Revolution Now!"
Words and Music by André Schlesinger

(Live version often included):

This song aint about Russia it's about right here where you live
And all the shit that you get and all the sweat that you give
So when you start asking questions like where, why and how
The answer is beneath your feet: revolution now

(Old black guy singing the Blues):

Lost my job, lost my home, lost my car, lost my dog, lost everything...

Right now!

It's sad but it's true we aint got much to lose
Well aren't you sick and tired of singing the blues
Time is wasting, reasons already abound
Well what the hell are you waiting for bring the walls down

Don't wait around to see what the future might bring
'Cause we can't take no chances with those kind of things
And don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can do now
Don't wait for tomorrow, revolution now!

Back in the beginning when this country was new
revolution bought democracy for you
And now it's coming back with a new kind of sound
real power for the people and spread it all around

(Soap box rant):

When are you gonna realize them bosses own you
And no one should have that kind of influence on the things that you do
You've got the power but what are you gonna do?

Stop mess'n around, stop bring'n me down,
Stop that fuck'n around, stop drag'n us down

(Guitar solo)
