Whatever Happened To The Revolution?

(album: Living In The 70's - 1974)

Whatever happened to the revolution
We all got stoned and it drifted away
Whatever happened to the revolution
I think it died just yesterday

Whatever happened to the revolution
We all got stoned and it drifted away
Whatever happened to the revolution
I think it died just yesterday
I think it died just yesterday

Well, I remember back in Nineteen Seventy
The army wanted you and the army wanted me
There was a war going on we were out in the streets
Wearing our badges and stamping our feet

There's a hundred thousand people all on my side
We didn't care if we lived or died
Hundred thousand people going to make it come
Hundred thousand people had the man on the run

Whatever happened to the revolution...

Everybody thought we could win with a vote
So the band went home without playing a note
We forgot about that war but it still went on
I'm alright Jack see you round so long
I'm alright Jack see you round so long

And now today everyone's a bit older
We're getting richer but we're getting colder
We're looking for something that just ain't there
And it don't mean nothing to have long hair
So when you're ready to make a stand
Open your mouth and raise your hand
When you're sick of your parties and sick of your sweets
Get off your arses I'll see you out in the streets
