First God created light And then the blue, blue skies Then of course the land and the seas He made the stars above The fish and then the doves The animals and ones like you and me He took a rest and saw his craft And saw it was his last draft He quickly became bored with the Peace He had made He added fruit we couldn't touch And curiosity because Sometimes people need a little...... Nudge But on the 8th Day.... Man created borders And started taking orders From people we ordained should rule us all Put their boots on our necks All so that they can protect The nation that they made at the lord's call They manifest a destiny They promised that the Trinity Voted for long ago in holy halls Then they scorched and tore the earth And anyone who at birth Did not quite resemble them at all Build it up to break it down, fight over our plated crown While the real kings look down with a smile from Hell Knowin that they got is fooled livin by their rules While we cry "Revolution" to ourselves Now we're wastin lumber To block out anyone That doesn't share our skin tone or Our last name And instead of buildin tables And place for those less able We build something to keep them in their place They say "Good fences make good neighbors, But good neighbors share their spoils But sharing teaches folks just to laze about" So before we build a wall I would really like to know What we're walling in and Walling out? Build it up to break it down, fight over our plated crown While the real kings look down with a smile from Hell Knowin that they got is fooled livin by their rules While we cry "Revolution" for ourselves This isn't something new you'll see Designed by folks like you and me It's written in the stars that the Old Kings forged Built and fueled by blood and sweat That burns an eerie crimson red A rosy shade that We've come to adore Separate us by our class By our gods, by our grass That's never quite as green as Right next door If we tear down walls we built Instead of Kill or be Killed We might find a world Worth FIGHT FOR Build it up to break it down, fight over our plated crown While the real kings look down with a smile from Hell Knowin that they got is fooled livin by their rules While we cry "Revolution" for ourselves Build it up to break it down, fight over our plated crown While the real kings look down with a smile from Hell Knowin that they got is fooled , there's no real threat to their rule While we cry "Revolution" to ourselves While we cry "Revolution" to ourselves While we cry "REVOLUTION!!!"
