lyrics

RED SQUARE REVOLUTION

The kids are marching right before your eyes
The revolution’s being televised
History will be revised, but not tonight -- it’s live
We gotta try
They can’t deny
No more lies
It’s the evolution of the institution-alized

‘Copters overhead they drown out your TV
Drama overtaken by reality
Open the door, what can you see?
Change comes in 3D
You gotta go
They gotta know
You gotta show
Show up all the doubters, join the crowd and shout it loud

CHORUS
Freedom -- fighting for what’s denied
The red square revolution
Will set up a new solution tonight

It’s not too late, participate
Decide your fate -- tonight
It’s up to you, no chosen few
Know what to do -- we fight
