The Day After The Revolution

The dust has settled replaces the bulbs in all the lights

I guess I'll get no sleep tonight

A revolution happened oh sorry you haven't heard

We are the children of the new world

If you're quiet you can watch if you like

They say the future's beginning tonight

Whole empires will crumble civilizations will fall

Lie on the bed hear the sound of it all

No anger no guilt and no sorrow

It sounds unlikely I know but tomorrow

You'll wake up to find that your whole life has changed

Although nothing looks different a revolution took place

I love the way you do it I love the way you put them on

You know the answers but you get it wrong

Just to confuse things

Why did it seem so difficult to realize a simple truth

The revolution begins and ends with you

Now all the breakdowns and nightmares look small

Now we decided not to die after all

Because the meek shall inherit

Absolutely nothing at all

If you stopped being so feeble

You could have so much more

The answer was here all the time you see

Just how I missed it is a mystery to me

I have waited and waited for this day to arrive

The revolution was televised now it's over bye bye

It's over bye bye it's over bye bye

Yeah we made it just by the skin of our teeth

Perfection is over Sheffield is over

The fear is over guilt is over

The Bergerac is over the hangover is over

Men are over women are over

Cholesterol is over tapers are over

Breakdown is over irony is over

Bye bye
