Lyrics

0:12Cats like me and you
0:15Have got laws
0:20That they adhere to
0:23Laws outside the laws
0:26As laid down
0:29By those we don't subscribe to
0:34The world is getting stranger
0:39But we'll never lose heart
0:45We can't just wait for the old guard to die
0:49Before we can make a new start
0:55Bring on the revolution
1:00Keep the pressure on
1:01I want to die for something
1:06Bring on the revolution
1:10I want to die for something want to die for something
1:16Bring on the revolution
1:21I want to die for something
1:27Bring on the revolution
1:32Don't wanna die for nothing
1:38For every freedom fighter
1:43I want to hold on tighter
1:48To the hope and will you gave
1:52You were the brave you were the brave
1:58And one day when I hear your children sing
2:05Freedom will ring freedom
2:20When we watch the children play
2:25Remember how the priviliged classes grew
2:31And from this day we set out
2:38To undo what won't undo
2:42Looking for the grand in the minute
2:47Every breath justifies
2:53Every step that we take to remove what the powers that be can't prove
2:57And the children will understand why
3:03Bring on the revolution
3:08Keep the pressure on
3:09I want to die for something
3:14Bring on the revolution
3:20I want to die for something
3:25Bring on the revolution
3:29Don't want to die for nothing
3:35Bring on the revolution
3:40I want to die for something
Cats like me and you
Have got laws
That they adhere to
Laws outside the laws
As laid down
By those we don't subscribe to
The world is getting stranger
But we'll never lose heart
We can't just wait for the old guard to die
Before we can make a new start
Bring on the revolution
Keep the pressure on
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
Don't wanna die for nothing
For every freedom fighter
I want to hold on tighter
To the hope and will you gave
You were the brave you were the brave
And one day when I hear your children sing
Freedom will ring freedom
When we watch the children play
Remember how the priviliged classes grew
And from this day we set out
To undo what won't undo
Looking for the grand in the minute
Every breath justifies
Every step that we take to remove what the powers that be can't prove
And the children will understand why
Bring on the revolution
Keep the pressure on
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
Bring on the revolution
Don't want to die for nothing
Bring on the revolution
I want to die for something
