Revolution Calling Lyrics

Artist: Queensryche
Album: Operation Mindcrime

For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I'm tired of all this bullshit
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam

They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

by Sky Tyler on 8/28/2008 6:17pm These lyrics really speak to me because they are the truth. This country is almost finshed because everyone sat on their hands instead of Having a real Revolution.

by y2kriss@aol.com on 10/8/2008 2:50pm are you guys kidding me....this song has rocked my minivan for years. even above the surf punks. I LOOOOVE geoff tate! sending the lyric to my republican dad.... how can he fight the logic. OBAMA should use this as his theme song! so timely though isn't it? ~TannersByThe Sea
by Qfan on 10/12/2008 10:23pm Agreed this is a great song with lyrics that ring true. I am over deregulation, fraud and corruption but I don't know about Obama; his socialism ideals for medical care, illegal immigration, support in Africa, etc. etc... It's not too far away when the printing presses cranking out more $$$ will result in a plummeting currency with double digit inflation; his math doesn't work... We'll still need a revolution, even if Obama is elected...
by Street Ready on 11/11/2008 9:37am I used to trust the media too.. but now they are so full of shit that it caused the media sheep to vote in another Dem. The Dems took over the house and senate and ran this country into the ground in TWO FUCKING YEARS. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
by Untrendy on 12/18/2008 5:32pm The media sold you Obama more than it did McCain. How can you guys argue that you are against them with that sentiment? If you're a true rebel, vote for Nader next time. That being said, BEST LYRICS EVER.
by Zel on 1/4/2009 6:19pm theres a great video on Youtube, featuring this song and its about Ron Paul. Voting in Ron Paul would have been this country's best shot at getting back to the constitution. Instead, we will have an even bigger deficit, soldiers scattered around the world and more socialist programs.
