[verse 1]
E G
So tell me family now what do you think?
C A
Watch it all go down the great big sink,
E G
watch how the scum it rises to the top.
C A
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
E G
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep,
C A
serving the dodgy companies we keep.
E G
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place
C A
- dictionary defintion of a rat race.
E G
Pay off those losers we elect to lead.
C A
stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed.
E G
Enslaving the very clothes upon my back,
C A
I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm sayin..
[Chorus]
C G
Running through the fire,
C
running through the flame,
G
Running through the hatred,
C
pushing through the blame,
G D
running through the hopelessness and shame,
C
Revolution already underway
[Verse 2]
E G
Big heavy pirates man digging those holes,
C A
messing with something that they can't control.
E G
Trespassing lands where they don't belong,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_butler_trio/revolution_crd_ver_2.html ]
C A
all I hear is screaming whee there once were songs.
E G
I got my brothers there fighting those wars,
C A
fighting over scraps and scraping their sores.
E G
Under a blanket of a fire and pride that can't keep us warm for the cold
inside, inside,
C
I'm saying
[Chorus]
C G
Running through the fire,
C
running through the flame,
G
Running through the hatred,
C
pushing through the blame,
G D
running through the hopelessness and shame,
C
Revolution already underway
[verse 3]
E G
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?
C A
Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes?
E G
Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake,
C A
open my fist my destiny I take!
E G
Good people sick and tired of being pushed around,
C A
we call them kings but I see no crown.
E G
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up?
C A
Say enough is enough is enough, enough, I'm saying
[Chorus]
C G
Running through the fire,
C
running through the flame,
G
Running through the hatred,
C
pushing through the blame,
G D
running through the hopelessness and shame,
C
Revolution already underway
