David Byrne
The Revolution
[Verse 1]
Amplifiers and old guitars
Country music sung in bars
And when she sings, the revolution's near

[Verse 2]
Beauty holds the microphone
And watches as we stumble home
And she can see the revolution now

Dirt and fish and trees and houses
Smoke and hands up women's blouses
Not like I expected it would be
Bubbles pop in every size
It's analyzed and criticized
And beauty knows that it is almost here

[Verse 3]
Beauty goes to her address
She shuts the door and climbs the stairs
And when she sleeps, the revolution grows

[Verse 4]
Beauty rests on mattress springs
Wearing just her underthings
And when she wakes, the revolution's here
[Outro]
And when she wakes, the revolution's here
