Lyrics
well i dreamed i went out a wanderin' i heard promises become fables forgotten i saw bridges stretchin' out across the water and towers pushing taller i knew my reality was clearly defined by the fences put up around my mind i watched them thicken into walls over time taller than any boarder line i saw civilizations deemed insignificant i saw people's history tatooed on their skin i saw families taken from their land dynasties shattered and stolen and i asked when... is a revolution i asked when... is a revolution in all the burdens of centuries accrue that get passed along to every generation's youth and all the allegories told in leiu of truth i watched them grow wild and spread like the flu i saw the rise of an untamed industry i watched machines paint a paper economy i saw my own self stand right in front of me and i didn't do a thing i saw poisons pushed in the street and prescription pills mingling in the mezzanine with a whole host of wealth of doctors and pharmaceutical companies still poor people were dying from disease and i asked when... is a revolution i asked when... is a revolution i asked when... is a revolution i asked when... is a revolution and i broke down at the break of dawn I saw new meaning in the clouds above the Pentagon as real as the hollocaust as stong as the Parthanon visions of Sudan that rock of Vietnam i stood silent upon a flooded levy and stared at the ruins of a merchant city and the president who came to dine with the nobility he didnt do a thing i saw three ships come sailing in through the passage of the i saw children coming home in coffins millions marching on washington and i asked when... is a revolution i asked when... is a revolution i asked when, when... is a revolution i asked when... is a revolution
