About

Second of three singles released for Operation: Mindcrime.

Not satisfied with his lot in life, Nikki is indoctrinated into the new order by Dr. X in this song. The additional chanting on the final chorus foreshadows that he isn’t the only one.

Revolution Calling Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For a price, I'd do about anything except pull the trigger
For that, I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X, the man with the cure
Just watch the television, yeah, you'll see there's something going on
Got no love for politicians or that crazy scene in D.C.‌
It's just a power-mad town
But the time is ripe for changes, there's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

[Chorus]
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
There's a revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm tired of all this bullshit they keep selling me on TV
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their secretaries the slam
They're all in Penthouse now or Playboy magazine
Million-dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong, fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I used to think that only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million, doesn't matter who dies

[Chorus]
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
There's a revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

[Chorus]
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling you
There's a revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling you
There's a revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

[Outro]
There's something going on
There's a revolution
There's a revolution
There's a revolution
