Where's The Revolution?
(John Newlands,  Rachael Charbonneau and Fionna Tough)
drum loop, guitar, bass, vocal, synth, drum machine, string machine, triangle (non-machine)
Where's the revolution?
Dreaming in my bed?
Where's the revolution?
Singing in my head?
Where's the revolution?
Welling up with my tears?
Where's the revolution?
Is it here?

Where's the revolution?
In your overcoat?
Where's the revolution?
In your smuggled note?
Where's the revolution?
Gathering in the square?
Where's the revolution?
Is it there?

Could it be it's not a revolution at all?
Could it be something better?

Too long is our history
Of great promises and fresh tyrannies
The new world has to be
Nature over us or it will be nothing
Nature over us or it will be nothing
Nature over us or it will be nothing
Nature over us or it will be nothing

Where's the revolution?
Smashing up coffee shops?
Where's the revolution?
Waiting for the cops?
Where's the revolution?
Stuck in a losing fight?
Where's the revolution?
In dark or light?

Could it be it's not a revolution at all?
Could it be something better?

Too long is our history
Of great promises and fresh tyrannies
The new world has to be
Nature over us or it will be nothing
Nature over us or it will be nothing
Nature over us or it will be nothing
Nature over us or it will be nothing
