Songtexte When the Revolution Comes - Mick Ralphs

I read it in the paper just the other day
Saw it on TV, what the people say
You're lookin' for a new life on the other side
But, baby, when you get there, you've been taken for a ride

When the revolution comes
You'll be driving a big black car
When the revolution comes
You'll be smoking a big cigar
When the revolution comes
You're gonna feel that you've been sold
When the revolution comes
You're gonna do what you're told
On and on, on and on

I was lookin' up to heaven, lookin' for a sign
On and on, you're a victim of your time
There's gotta be a way out, out of this place
I'm gettin' tired of runnin' from the human race

When the revolution comes
You'll be driving a big black car
When the revolution comes
You'll be smoking a big cigar
When the revolution comes
You're gonna feel that you've been sold
When the revolution comes
You're gonna do what you're told
On and on, on and on
Yeah

When the revolution comes
You'll be driving a big black car
When the revolution comes
You'll be smoking a big cigar
When the revolution comes
You're gonna feel that you've been sold
When the revolution comes
You're gonna do what you're told
On and on, on and on, yeah
