Text
Call out the instigators because there's something in the air.
We got to get together sooner or later, because the revolution's here,
And you know it's right. And you know it's right.
We have got to get it together; we have got to get it together, now.
a
Block up the streets and houses, because there's something in the air.
We got to get together sooner or later, because the revolution's here,
And you know it's right. And you know it's right.
We have got to get it together; we have got to get it together, now.
b
Hand out the arms and ammo, we're gonna blast our way through here.
We got to get together sooner or later, because the revolution's here,
And you know it's right. And you know it's right.
We have got to get it together; we have got to get it together, now.
