Lyrics Revelation: Revolution '69 - Single Version (Alternate Mix) - The Lovin' Spoonful

No one dares to ask them what they do after dark
And the prize they give to men who kill is a statue in the park
Ah, don′t let them cut your wings dear ones before you learn to fly
Too soon the game will seem too real and then no one will ask why
I'm scared to start but can′t stop my heart now I want the revolution
And it's what they're doin′ not what
They say that screams out "It′s a lie"
You better keep your tongue locked in your head before your martyr die
Let's hang together then good friends or you know we′ll hang alone
And the hawks that fly would tear your
Eyes and rip the skin clean off your bone
I'm afraid to die but I′m a man inside and I need the revolution
And I'm cryin′ watchin' brothers of
Mine doin' time for makin′ those waves
About evil men that′ve been sittin' on
Them laughin′ lovin' the system they′ve saved
Those heavy handed hit down hard arms pushed me to this fight
And I'm tired of seein′ our name done
Wrong when it's us who gives 'em the right
And if looks can tell sure as hell we′re gonna have a revolution
Yeah
Watch it
I can feel
