The Revolution

I’m the type of kid to push away girls like you
Who get too close to me
This ain't your front porch on division street
Where you crashed your car
And then you blamed it on a sneeze
Well god bless you darling
I mean it

You’re the type of girl who said
She don’t believe in god
But you believed in me
We never missed our opportunity here
We just grew up until we found some room to breathe
Well god bless us darling we need it

We need a revolution
Why else are we standing here, yeah
Take off our gloves, put down our guns
Til’ everyone sings, yeah

We’re the type of kids
Who burned the whole damn forest down
We looked like criminals
How we got out alive it’s biblical and I
Felt something strange behind my knees
Well nothing exists til’ you see it
We can turn back now
Or we can burn a whole nother town
Everybody gets out
It’s just that night we don’t talk about
I’m sick of life decisions
This cut dry life we live in
If I did you wrong I’m sorry
You’re just so god damn pretty

Why else are we standing here, yeah
Take off our gloves look towards the sun
Til’ everyone sings yeah

If I sang you to sleep would you listen
I’d tell you all the things that I’ve been missing
When words flow like river bends
I’ve burned too many cigarettes
At home
Where did you go
I hated you for leaving
Got sick of writing letters on the weekend
My thoughts were clear like cellophane
I had to see you face to face at home
So where do we go
Now that we’re both standing here, yeah
We’ll take off our gloves put down our guns
Til’ everyone sings, sings, sings

We need a revolution
Why else are we standing here, yeah
Take off our gloves, put down our guns
Til’ everyone sings, yeah
We need a revolution
