Ziggy Looked Me In The Eye

(album: The Wild Swan - 2016)

You're fired up and you say you want it
No don't ever loose your will to fight
Or wane when you think upon it
It's hard work but it will be worth it
When we see smoke filling up the sky
We'll burn it down but we'll build upon it

'Cause we're the children of the revolution
Ziggy looked me in the eye
And said "revolution"
Never let the spirit die, revolution
It's only just a quarter mile
To the revolution

No need for to think it over
No need to beat around the bushel now
See it all as a wanted lover
I'm your sister and your brother
Come and put your hand in mine
We'll tear em' up and we'll turn em' over

'Cause we're the children of revolution
Ziggy looked me in the eye
And said "revolution"
Never let the spirit die, revolution
It's only just a quarter mile
To the revolution

All that they will tell you
Is what they'd have you to believe
But when your eyes are open
This is what you'll see
You'll see that all the leaves have fallen
And there's no moisture in the tree
So lets just light a fire underneath it

'Cause we're the children of revolution
Ziggy looked me in the eye
And said "revolution"
Never let the spirit die, revolution
It's only just a quarter mile
To the revolution
No I don't want to wait awhile
For the revolution
It's only just a quarter mile
To the revolution
