Pretenders

The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England in March 1978. The original band comprised initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). The band has experienced drug-related deaths of the members, and numerous subsequent personnel changes have taken place over the years, with Hynde and Chambers as the remaining original members. more »

Cats like me and you 
Have got laws 
That they adhere to 
Laws outside the laws 
As laid down 
By those we don't subscribe to 
The world is getting stranger 
But we'll never lose heart 
We can't just wait for the 
Old guard to die 
Before we can 
Make a new start 

Bring on the revolution 
(keep the pressure on) 
I want to die for something 
Bring on the revolution 
I want to die for something 
Bring on the revolution 
I want to die for something 
Bring on the revolution 
I don't want to die for nothing 

For every freedom fighter 
I want to hold on tighter 
To the hope and will you gave 
You were the brave 
You were the brave 
And one day 
When I hear your children sing 
Freedom will ring 
Freedom! 

When we watch the children play 
Remember 
How the privileged classes grew 
And from this day 
We set out 
To undo what won't undo 
Looking for the grand 
In the minute 
Every breath justifies 
Every step that we take 
To remove what the powers that be 
Can't prove 
And the children will 
Understand why 

Bring on the revolution 
(keep the pressure on) 
I want to die for something 
Bring on the revolution 
I want to die for something 
Bring on the revolution 
I don't want to die for nothing 
Bring on the revolution 
I want to die for something
