lyrics

Born in the alley of a dead man's town
First kick I took was when I hit the ground
I had a dream but I woke up again

The deck is stacked against us
but we have to go all in
We're forced to play the game where
the house will always win

R-e-v-o-l-u-t-i-o-n

Waiting for heroes come to save the day
We never see the villains anyway
Who got the dollar that's worth all this hurt?

My sister's tryin' to cope with it
so she had to steal Mom's purse.
My bucket's got a hole in it
and my heart is even worse

R-e-v-o-l-u-t-i-o-n

I look world round at what the system's doin'
Folk ain't got nothin' and afraid to lose it
Deeper in debt so then the harder you bet

They say can't afford the raise
then they board their private jets
Their families' set for centuries
while you can't pay the rent

R-e-v-o-l-u-t-i-o-n
