Turn Yourself Around
so much going on
so much is wrong today
so you call me up and
you ask me where i've been
well i've been around
just have nothing new to say
nothing that i can add on
to your scene
say you need my help
to get some people in the street
get the system on the run
but you've only changed the drummer
and you still won't change your beat
just waiting for the day
that you can go pick up a gun
and you want to change the system
and you want to change the flag
to another one
a better one you found
just don't ask me now to follow you
or to wave your bloody rag
if you want a revolution then
turn yourself around
you say stop the war machine
and with this i can agree
we've got to live our lives
along another track
but you don't even understand yourself
and so you cannot see
where you're going
as you're leading the attack
so its stop the madness
no matter what it takes
peace now or i will kill you
where you stand
so i may as well just sit here
and light me up some shake
it'll help the world out a whole lot more
than all that weird shit you've got planned
and you want to change the system
and you want to change the flag to
another one
a better one you found
just don't ask me now to follow you
or to wave your bloody rag
if you want a revolution
first turn yourself around
