What’d ya’ think, that we’d all just play along?
Right or left, don’t we all know right from wrong?
There’s no terror like our own hypocrisy.

King Georgie takes the bully pulpit,
Strikes the gavel and he screams for quiet.
We gotta a problem, and we cannot solve it,
Unless we wanna change the way we live.

So shut up! And let me make you money;
Here’s a drop of all that milk and honey.
After all, you only rent your country.
You should be grateful for the scraps we give…

Just then, the People sang,
Oh, brother, it’s a grand illusion.
Oh, sister, won’t you march with me now?
They can’t stop us when we’re all in motion.

Once more, the peace bell rings,
We don’t need a New Revolution.
We’re in the one that never ends.

Just then, the People Sang,
We don’t need a new revolution—
We're in the one that never ends.
