[Verse 1]
Carl Perkins for the rock n roll
Dr. John for the Jock-A-Mo
Little Richard for a Saturday night
James Brown if you’re feelin outtasight
Willie Nelson if you’re feelin low
Aretha Franklin if you need some soul

[Pre-Chorus]
Play 'em loud. But if you’re quiet and you’re brooding, baby

[Chorus]
Noam Chomsky is a soft revolution

[Verse 2]
Jean-Paul Sartre if it’s all just so
Dostoyevsky if you’re in the know
A bit of scripture for a little light
Baby Che Guevara for a full on bar fight
Alexander if you’re feeling great
Charlie Darwin if you’re thinking ‘bout apes

[Pre-Chorus-Variation]
If you’re quiet and you’re looking for solution baby

[Chorus]
Noam Chomsky is a soft revolution
[Verse 3]
Old Joe Lewis gonna wear you down
Ali Muhammad gonna do it loud
Marciano got a granite chin
Baby go get a rocket for a 147
Gotta bolt when you’re feeling lighting
And that McGregor good lord he’s frightenin’

[Pre-Chorus-Variation]
If your quiet and you’re sick of institution baby

[Chorus]
Noam Chomsky is a soft revolution
