[Instrumental Intro 00:00-01:42]
[Verse 1]
Tired eyes, close for days
There’s no regret
Cause there’s no place
I don’t know what i believe
But if i feel safe, what do i need?
[Chorus]
Revolution!
Revolution!
Revolution blues
What will they do?
Revolution!
Revolution blues
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?
[Verse 2]
Dulcet tongues, whisper fast
The future yearns
Right now’s the past
Rouse me soon, the end draws nigh
Who’s side are you on?
Your blood you cannot buy
[Chorus]
Revolution!
Revolution!
Revolution blues
What will they do?
Revolution!
Revolution!
Revolution blues
What will they do to you?
[Instrumental Break 04:19-06:48]
[Verse 3]
We’re alive
I feel alright
So tonight
I got to ask you why?
Why tonight?
It’s no surprise
I’ve got to survive!
[Bridge]
Freedom shines a light ahead
I’ll lead the last charge from bed
They said my last rites
I don’t have to run scared no more
[Verse 4]
Fight!
I wanna fight!
I wanna fight!
Revolution tonight!
I wanna fight!
I wanna fight! Revolution tonight!
Acolyte, acolyte
Do you wanna watch me die?
[Outro]
Let me be something good
Let me prove something real like I should
Let me embrace every single living thing
Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood
[Instrumental Outro]

Billy Corgan via XM Artist Confidential:
