American beauty

came up and spoke

She touched her toes

and we shared a joke

Taxi's, limos,

power boat glides

Jet skies, mensa,

babes without a ride

You know the revolutions gone now

There's no revolution song

Somewhere down the line

You know on one of Gods good days

Can you hear me,

someone's gonna have to pay

Moonshot, rockets

nineteen sixties cool

Sonny Boy Williamson,

Pope John Paul

The Congo to Vietnam

The Beatles to the Stones

Is nobody left

who's gonna shake those bones?

You know the revolutions gone now

There's no revolution song

Somewhere down the line

You know on one of Gods good days

Can you hear me,

someone's gonna have to pay

Pay all the time

Solo

All of the misfits

all of the scars

All of life's promises

bottled in jars

There's a hum and a howl.

lovers on the run

Tell me what's on offer

from the government scum

Solo

Rats will get richer

and the dirt beg for more

Crumbs on the table

for the world of the poor

News of self worship

fresh from Hollywood

The pygmies of poison,

don't know bad from good

You know the revolutions gone now

There's no revolution song

Somewhere down the line

You know on one of Gods good days

Can you hear me,

someone's gonna have to pay

Oh that's pay all the time

someones got to pay

you ain't walkin'

you ain't talkin'

you got to pay

while i'm looking over your shoulder

you got to pay
