Children of The Revolution Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Faug]I fell down [Am]from the cloud[Faug]s like raindrops,
we were sent [F]here
[Faug]Came out[Am] to the gro[Faug]und,
[F]the abyss, [Am]no, we were sent here
I am the philo[Faug]sophy that f[F]illed
Woody
[Faug]Guthrie when [Am]he said,
[Faug]land is ours, cos it must be
The spirit that enveloped
John
Lennon's heart
When he asked why we can't
just give peace a chance
When
Phil
Oakes declared that the war is over
I was the spark that [Am]filled the composer
I am the quiver in the voice of
Martin
Luther
When he spoke about his
dreams of the [Faug]future
[Am]That's me, the
[Faug]Venom in
Johnny
[Am]Rotten's [Faug]fit
Why rappers still use [F]that word,
they've forgotten shit
[Am]When
Hendrix [F]was all [Faug]along the watchtower
Joe
[Am]Strummer said, fire
Trump, [Faug]defy the power
The whooping siren of
KRS -One
The smoke on
Bob
Marley's [A]tongue when [Am]he sung
Love is one, control and I shift
Now I inhabit the form of the
[F]man on this [Am]hitch
We are the children [F]of[Am]
[C]the mad[G]e in [Am]heaven
We are the children [F]of
[Am]the [C]revoluti[G]on
[Am]I am the picket lines and the picket signs
I am the youthful fight of hopeful times
[Faug]Abbie
Hoffman's anger,
Jerry
[Am]Garcia's dealer
Mick
Jagger's lips,
Buddy
Carr's cop killer
When
Miles entered in the back then rocked
the [Faug]stage I was the fi[Am]re in
Matt's roach
I'm
Elvis's pelvis, the star in the frenzy
I'm the fuck you, I want to watch you tell me
[Faug]I am the conscience, I'm how
[F]Billy
[Faug]Bragg
Gets everywhere [Am]at once
I'm the nights of love, the days [Faug]of rage
I'm the love in the air,
it's a warehouse rave
I'm the [Am]hope in the ghost,
I'm the [Faug]dope in the motown
The [Am]outright fucking in the streets
of the whole town
Control and I [Faug]shift,
in[Am]habit the form of the mind
We are the children [F]of
[Am]the [C]revoluti[G]on
[Am]We a[C]re the child[Am]ren of[F]
[Am]the [C]revoluti[G]on[Am]
We refuse to fit in, we refuse to [F]give in
The spirit lives [Dm]on, the spirit lives [Am]on
[F]We are the [Am]children [F]of
[Am]the [C]revoluti[G]on
[Am]Slow down from the house like
we've come to ascend it
I let the spirit flow through me,
shift to form all me
From [Faug]heart to fingertips,
toes claim ownership [F]equipped
[Faug]Tun e in[F], let her up,[Am]
lose grip of reality
Please don't banish me to
the hell that is sanity
I'd rather punch my [Faug]own eyes
[F]screaming profanities
What about the humanity?
What [Faug]about all the c[F]asualties?
What [Am]about how we've [G]lost
all touch [Am]with spirituality?
But I travel over mountains and oceans
Trying to organ[Faug]ize through the
hungry and the broken
[F]My only weapon is the [Faug]words
that I've spoken
Hear how the [F]gates get them
[Am]flung wide open
[F]Flung wide open!
Flung wide open!
[Am]We are the c[F]hildren
[Am]Of t[C]he land you [G]serv[Am]e
We're bound for [F]the house of [C]love
We've got to save the
We are the [Am]children [F]of [Am]the r[C]evolut[G]ion
[F]We [C]refuse to fit in[Am],
we refuse to [F]give in
The spirit lives [Dm]on, the spirit lives [Am]on
[F]We are the [Am]children [F]of [C]the revol[G]ution
[Am][C][Am]
[Am]So here's
[Faug]my message in a bottle
[F]Life, [C]my struggle, blo[G]od, sweat,
[Am]tears, scars, cuts and bruises
[F]Lay bare, [C]fuck it I'm just gonna
hoist [Am]my flag up a p[F]ole
See who salutes it
[C]And I hope that one [G]day,
[Am]somebody finds [F]me
[C]I hope
[Am]
