Bloody Revolutions lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Bloody Revolutions lyrics "Bloody Revolution"           by Crass originally              recorded 1980 You talk about your revolution, well, that s fine But what are you going to be doing come the time? Are you going to be the big man with the tommy-gun? Will you talk of freedom when the blood begins to run? Well, freedom has no value if violence is the price Don t want your revolution, I want anarachy and peace Chorus: You talk of over throwing power with violence as your tool         You speak of liberation and when the people rule         Well ain t it people rule right now, what differnce would there be?         Just another set of bigots with their rifle-sights on me But what about those people who don t want your new restrictions? Those that disagree with you and have their own convictions? You say thay ve got it wrong becuase they don t agree with you So when the recolution comes you ll have to run them through Yet you say that revoution will bring freedom for us all Well freedom just ain t freedom when your back s against the wall Chorus Will you indoctrinate the masses to serve your new regime? And simply do away with those whose views are too extreme? Transportation details could be left to British rail Where Zyklon B sucessed, North Sea Gas will fail It s just the same old story of man destroying man We ve got to look for other answers to the problems of this land Chorus Vive la revolution, people of the world unite Stand up of courage, it s your job to fight It all seems very easy, this revolution game But when you start to really play thing won t be quite the same Your intellectual theories on how it s going to be Don t seem to take into accoutn the true reality Cos the truth of what you re saying, as you sit there sipping beer Is pain and death and suffering, but of course you wouldn t care You re far too much of a man for that, if Mao did it so can you What s the fredom of us all agaist the suffering of a few? That s the kind of self-deception that killed ten million jews Just the same false logic that all power-mogers use So don t think you can fool me wiht your political tricks Bovernment is government and all government is force Left of right, right or left, it takes the same old course Oppression and restriction, regulation, rule and law The seizre of that power is all your revolution s for You romanticise your heroes, qutoe from Marx and Mao Well thir ideas of freedom are just oppression now Nothing s changed for all the death that their ideas created It s just the same fascistic games, but the rules aren t clearly stated Nothing s really different cos all government s the same They can call it freedom, but slavery is the game There s nothgin that you offer but a dream of last years hero The truth of revolution, bother..................... is year zero song lyrics
