Song for Revolutionaries

from Leeside by Stuart Wicke

/

lyrics

Raise your glasses high, and praise the other land!
Someone has to have done it right.
Pomp and circumstance, displays of eloquence
Let the darkness come to light.
Live forever, and everything is fairer
For the richer and the poorer in between.
So we reject our pleasantries
As we resound our peasantry –
It’s not my place to intervene.

Suffer quietly, behold the artistry,
So depraved and so brazen!
A vulgar sacrament endorsing violence;
We were always out to win.
Yield to temptation, forgive our trespasses
As we continue trespassing against.
Same old pretenses:
This is the best that we can do.
Invoke your Savior and repent!

Quit wasting my time about it,
Put up a fight.
Raise your voice, say what you mean!
Quit changing your mind about it,
This isn’t right.
Point your fingers, make a scene!

Revolutionaries, make haste to the battlefield!
Spread your testament so terse,
Hide the evidence, and vow your silences –
Consolations well rehearsed.
Without convictions, affirm conventions.
You know you’ll always be invincible.
Beyond the questions, before the answers,
Is it clear the truth is indefensible?

Quit wasting my time about it,
Put up a fight.
Raise your voice, say what you mean!
Quit changing your mind about it,
This isn’t right.
Point your fingers, make a scene!
