Revolution Songtext

von Bob Marley

Revelation reveals the truth, revelation.
(Revolution, revolution, revolution, oooo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Revolution, oooo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

It takes a revolution (revolution) to make a solution,
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
Too much confusion (aaa-aaah), so much frustration, eh!
I don't wanna live in the park (live in the park),
Can't trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark), yeah-eh!
So, my friend, I wish that you could see,
Like a bird in the tree, the prisoners must be free, yeah! (free)

Never make a politician (aaa-aaah) grant you a favour,
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
They will always want (aaa-aaah) to control you forever, eh!
(Forever, forever)
So if a fire make it burn (make it burn, make it burn)
And if a blood makey a run (make ya run, run, run),
Rasta de 'pon top (aaa-aaah), can't you see? (doo-doo-doo-doo)
So you can't predict the flop, eh-eh! (doo-doo-doo-doo)

We got lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder),
Brimstone (brimstone) and fire - fire (fire, fire),
Lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder),
Brr-brimstone (brimstone) and fire, fiyah, fire, fiyah!
(Fire, fire)

Kill, cramp and paralyze all weak at conception,
(Aaa-aaah, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Wipe them out of creation (creation), yeah-eah! (creation)
Wa-JAH, JAH, JAH, wa-JAH, JAH, JAH! (creation)
Wa-JAH, JAH, JAH! (creation)

Oh, let i'es is i'es (i'es), in i'es is black (i'es),
In i'es is red (i'es), in i'es is dread.

Let righteousness cover the earth
Like the water (aaa-aaah) cover the sea, yeah, yeah!

Lightning (lightning), doo-doo-doo (thunder),
Doo-doo-doo (brimstone), doo-doo-doo (fire, fire),
A lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder),
Brimstone (brimstone) and fire.
