about

Dig the typewriter-used-as-percussion effect.

lyrics

Once upon a time, there was a revolution
The kids wrote it down on paper, and passed it to their friends
But now we're in a time without social evolution
And the morgue has just announced that the revolution's dead

Once upon a time, our hearts were all on fire
We doused them all with gasoline and struck the matches hard
But we've all forgotten how to rub the sticks together
And we can't even start the fire in our own backyard

Once upon a time, our art was all important
We had respect for each other and united in the fight
Now all we do is bitch and whine, and divide and conquer
We all criticize each other and we sit alone at night

We're at a time when we need a revolution
We can write it down and paper, and pass it to our friends
Let's all create together, some social evolution
We'll fuck shit up to show them that it was never dead
