Revolution

About Revolution

"Revolution" is a 1969 Answer song by American jazz musician Nina Simone and Weldon Irvine. It was released as a single in 1969 and on the album To Love Somebody in 1969. The single release was split over two sides of a 45 rpm disc and these two edits were used as separate tracks on the album. The song was released the year after the Beatles' "Revolution", and is a variation of that song. "Revolution" didn't do as well as expected and Simone has expressed surprise and disappointment at its lack of success.  more »

And now we got a revolution
Cause I see the face of things to come 
Yeah, your Constitution
Well, my friend, its gonna have to bend 
I'm here to tell you about destruction
Of all the evil that will have to end.
Some folks are gonna get the notion
I know they'll say I'm preachin' hate
But if I have to swim the ocean 
Well I would just to communicate
Its not as simple as talkin' jive
The daily struggle just to stay alive
Singin' about a revolution 
Because were talkin' about a change 
Its more than just evolution
Well you know you got to clean your brain
The only way that we can stand in fact
Is when you get your foot off our back
