so i stopped talking about the revolution
because there didn't seem to be anything i could do and
there was a show on tv i wanted to watch
i'll revolt next week, i decided
when there was a cute shirt i wanted to wear
no one wanted to hear about the the revolution
when it was cold outside and the home fires are burning
so i stopped talking about the revolution
because i had a crush on a boy
and a cigarette was revolution enough for
this little moment
i wasn't sure what i was mad about
and i didn't have a car
i was exhausted
(sleep first, revolution later)
so I stopped talking about the revolution
because i couldn't pay rent
and nothing moves
the bread got moldy
and monotony was a mountain
between me and the end of the rainbow
and smallness was a cloud
between me and enormous sunshine
so i stopped talking about the revolution
because i'm waiting for someone else to bring it up
