No
No more following orders
I'm sick of these rules and regulations
All my life, in every aspect,
someone claims to be above myself
Someone tells me what to do
Well I said fine,
but now I'm ready for a revolution
They make laws about everything
in our short, wavering lives
Some for our good,
some for their good
For thier corrupt hearts,
for thier unjust minds
And I used to just accept it
laws are laws
rules are rules
But now, I'm ready for a revolution
Never did I talk back
or even question their power
It was their's
not mine
never mine
Well now I want some of it
A government for the people by the people
let's see it happen
People start ruling I say
Not all for one
Not one for all
All for all
I used to just accept the facts
they ruled we didn't
But now I say let's take the power
spread it amongst the people
And now I say
I'm ready for a revolution
I disagree,
it's simple and it's strong
I will make things right
or I will die trying
Even in my own, sanctuary
where i may express
my heart
and my soul
and my mind
Thier songs and their thoughts
their magnificent paintings
I am told even here what I shall do
And what I shall not
But never can they control me
and my beleifs
and my heart
and my soul and my mind
For when one wants it, needs it bad enough
one will get it
And they will never usurp my individualism
my ability to be me
So I may fall, and die slowly on the ground
under the foot of those opressing me
But never shall I give them the satisfaction
of letting them hear me say
surrender
Those words shall never leave my mouth
They will take away my rights and my freedom
but never will they touch my soul
They will cut my arms
and shoot my heart
But never shall I let them
even beleive for a slight moment
surrender
And if I want it bad enough
it will happen
The thoughts of my soul
will always flow
always
I used to accept it
they had the power over me
Rules are rules
Laws are laws
But now I say
I'm ready for a revolution
