[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Your revolution is a silly idea, yeah
All your friends are feeling mad
It's like you need a reason to be feeling bad, yeah
You sport an armband when you're feeling sad, yeah

[Chorus]
La-la, la-la, revolution
La-la, la-la (revolution)
I picked up a bad vibration

[Verse 2]
I don't know why I'm feeling bad, yeah
I peeled off a bad vibration
Oliver North is running for Senate
Bomb the abortion clinic
Reagan's defense is the deficit
The virus was invented
Black men can't get acquitted
Of the crimes that we've committed
The future never happened
It never happened
[Chorus]
La-la, la-la, revolution
La-la, la-la, revolution
La-la, la-la, revolution
I picked up a bad vibration

[Verse 3]
Your revolution is a silly idea, yeah
You try to look like a punk rock girl
A whole lotta sneer, a little curl
But I don't have time for your theatrics
Everybody knows that you're a bad actress
We've been packaged for way too long, yeah
All the scum is rising

[Chorus]
La-la, la-la, revolution
La-la, la-la, I picked up a bad vibration
La-la, la-la, revolution
La-la, la-la, I picked up a bad vibration
