"No Revolution"

Well hey, have you opened your eyes?
Can't you see what's going down?
The world's in a state of affairs
between the capital kings and clowns
and you know, they're all gonna get theirs
(either way, as they saying goes)
but between them, you know one thing: you're fucked
might as well just start shedding clothes!

Well here's the big time big-wig-pig mother fucker
he's rigged all the jury-rigged trials, motherfucker
he's so deep in you gotta smile, motherfucker
- and I could introduce you now, motherfucker!
He's given up sexism, racism, isn't that nice? (he confides
there's no money in it)
well, we don't need to make money anymore either
we just gotta move it around! And there'll be!
No! Revolution, coming down
or we could be the first ones up against the wall
aw,
but they'll Be! No! Revolution, coming now
So you and me
will have
to settle for status quo,
oh

And we'll be stepping out in proud style, motherfucker
as people gather round for miles, motherfucker
to lap it up - what the fuck we put down
whatever we decide to call it now!
'Cause communism's just another word for big livin'
c'mon, join the party baby all is forgiven
except you might have to wait out on line
it forms to the left and the right, this time! And there'll be!
No! Revolution, coming down
or we could be the first ones up against the wall
aw,
but they'll Be! No! Revolution, coming now
So you and me
will have
to settle for status quo,
oh

Well one, two three four five six seven
eight nine ten... ... ... ... eleven
how many billion people can we fit?
before the fat latitude pants seams split?
we've given up hatred, and discrimination
just want to show the world how fast we can take 'em
as long as we can keep all our money and jobs -
believe what you like! All you ignorant slobs! There'll be!
No! Revolution, coming down
or we could be the first ones up against the wall
aw,
but they'll Be! No! Revolution, coming now
So you and me
will have
to settle for status quo,
oh

Well, hey. Have you opened your eyes?
Can't you see what's going down?
The world's in a state of affairs
between the capital kings and clowns
and you know that they're going to get theirs
- either way, as the saying goes
but between them, you know one thing: you're fucked.
Might as well just start shedding clothes
