Child You're the Revolution Songtext

von Angie Aparo

When you're young
They take your hand
Say you're from the greatest land
Right or wrong
They teach you the song
Of your people

And in your dreams
They shape your mind
Until it seems
You're one of their kind
And on your tongue
They write the song
Of your people
Mother tell me
Is there love on my tongue
Mother tell me
Cause I'm the revolution
Mother tell me
Are there wars to be won
Can you tell me
Am I a child of the son
The only one who rules the world
Is every little boy or girl
Child you're the revolution

I wanna bury your flags
And all your religions
It's a fucking drag
To hear all your bitchin'
When I was young
Standin' in the kitchen
With all the hatred on the television

Mother tell me
Is there love on my tongue
Mother tell me
Cause I'm the revolution
Mother tell me
Are there wars to be won
Can you tell me
Am I a child of the son
The only one who rules the world
Is every little boy or girl

Child, you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution

Child... you're the revolution
I say child ...you're the revolution

Mother tell me
Is there love on my tongue
Mother tell me
Cause I'm the revolution
Mother tell me
Is there love on my tongue
Mother tell me
Cause I'm the revolution
Am I a child of the son
Mother tell me
Are there wars to be won
Can you tell me
Am I a child of the son
The only one who rules the world
Is every little boy or girl

Child you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
Child, you're the revolution
