[Verse 1: Van William]
Lost my valentine
You could never keep my meaning straight
And I won't wait in line
For you to give me any time of day

[Chorus]
I want a revolution
You want a short solution
We never could see eye to eye
You wanted retribution
I came to the same conclusion
It's a story as old as time
I heard you crying in the other room

[Verse 2: First Aid Kit]
Tried to test the ice
But I could hear it cracking underneath
There's no compromise
If both of us are aching to be free

[Chorus]
I want a revolution
You want a short solution
We never could see eye to eye
You wanted retribution
I came to the same conclusion
It's a story as old as time
I heard you crying in the other room
[Bridge]
It took a lifetime
For us to see that it's too late
We're a broken stake

And after all of this
We keep ignoring the signs
The waters run dry

[Chorus]
I want a revolution
You want a short solution
We never could see eye to eye
You wanted retribution
I came to the same conclusion
It's a story as old as time
I heard you crying in the other room

[Outro]
I want a revolution
I want a revolution
