lyrics

We won't be carrying guns this time
no blood will be shed
its time for and American Revolution
so stand up all you Americans
and let it be said
to ignore is no solution

We want a country where our children can be
in control of their destiny
so in the name of America we stand
from the streets of New York to the California sands

Voter registration,
it's getting out of hand
'cause it's time for and American Revolution
we'll take away the power
put it in the people's hands
it's time for a real solution

If America is ever to be strong
we must have a hand in what goes on

We want a country where our children can be
in control of their destiny
so in the name of America we stand
from the streets of New York to the California sands

We'll learn to choose our leaders
as our needs come down
it's time for an American Revolution
empowered by the people
they'll be duty-bound
say good by to political illusion

If America is ever to be strong
we must have a hand in what goes on

'Cause we won't be carrying guns this time
no blood will be shed
its time for an American Revolution
it's time for a real solution
its time for an American Revolution
