Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a risin' on the streets tonight
Every woman, man, and child
Through the struggle, we will all unite
Watch the city runnin' wild
[Verse 2]
'Cause we've been lied to by the liars
And we've been sold what we can buy
In our hearts, there's a fire
You can see it in our eyes
[Verse 3]
We are the revolution, we want it all tonight
We wanna take back what's rightfully ours
We are the revolution, we wanna stand and fight
A map of our lives written in scars, written in scars
[Verse 4]
There's a riot on the streets tonight
There's a reason for the cause
It's up to us to remember, yes
All the words gone before
[Verse 5]
We'll all be taken by the taker
A fate that awaits us all
Till the day we meet our maker
We won't be stopped by anyone
[Verse 6]
We are the revolution, we want it all tonight
We wanna take back what's rightfully ours
We are the revolution, we wanna stand and fight
A map of our lives written in scars, written in scars
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
[Verse 8]
We are the revolution, we want it all tonight
We wanna take back what's rightfully ours
We are the revolution, we wanna stand and fight
A map of our lives written in scars, written in scars
[Verse 9]
We are the revolution
We are the revolution
We are the revolution
