lyrics
She told me revolution starts with the self
It starts in the mind, it starts in the mind
Like planting seeds and watching them blossom in time
Like what happens to a flower when it dies
Does it grow roots in the garden of my mind
Get tattooed to the back of a girl named life
The revolution was already televised
You can watch it on demand for $4.95
You got to love yourself, love yourself
My therapist said
One more oil rig we'll love ourselves to death
If I could restart the world, I'd restart the world
Fill it with gigabytes of justice and cheap thrills
Our prophets wrote poems on bathroom stalls
Spray painted eat the rich on city hall
Our prophets wrote love notes in concrete
Got beat up by police in the street
When I think of revolution, I think of you
When I think of teenage riots, I think of you
When I think of love and war, I think of you
When I think of revolution, I think of you
She told me bad things come in threes, self-belief, belief is the key
And it starts in the mind
Like painting memories, watching them live new lives
Like eating library books and shitting out rhymes
No more fire, the revolt next time
The goal has always been to cover outside the lines
The goal has been consistency over time
To get the heart to harmonize with the mind
I was here, I was here, history lives in the stomach like beers
Same old fears
Strength isn't physical it's mental
The heroes weren't clinical they were sentimental
She told me go with your heart, go with your heart
That's the place where the sunset goes, where the protest starts
My therapist says I'm doing ok
They've been trying to get me on prozac since the fifth grade
Real change is slow, bullets move fast
I write in journals hoping justice gets the last laugh
When I think of revolution, I think of you
When I think of teenage riots, I think of you
When I think of love and war, I think of you
When I think of revolution, I think of you
