Well, I dreamed I went out wandering I heard promises become fables forgotten I saw bridges stretching out across the water And towers pushing taller I knew my reality was clearly defined By the fences put up around my mind I watched them thicken into walls over time Taller than any borderline I saw civilizations deemed insignificant I saw people?s history tattooed upon their skin I saw families taken from their land Dynasty shattered and stolen And I asked when is the revolution I asked when is the revolution And all the burdens the centuries accrue That get passed along to every generations youth And all the allegories told in lewd truth I watched them grow wild and spread like a flu I saw the rise of an untamed industry And I watched machines print a paper economy I saw my own self stand right in front of me And I didn't do a thing I saw poisons pushed in the street And prescription pills mingling in the mezzanine With a whole wealth of doctors and pharmaceutical companies Still poor people were dying from disease And I asked when is the revolution I asked when is the revolution I asked when is the revolution I asked when is the revolution And I broke down at the break of dawn And saw looming in the clouds above the Pentagon As he re-lives the holocaust as strong as the parkin' on Visions [Incomprehensible] Vietnam And I stood silent upon the flooded levee Stared at the ruins of a merchant city And the president who came to dine with the noble, he He didn't do a thing I saw three ships come sailing in Through the passage of the Caribbean I saw children coming home in coffins Millions marching on Washington And I asked when is the revolution I asked when is the revolution I asked when, when is the revolution I asked when is the revolution
