Lyrics:
Verse:
They've given me a mission,
Don't really know the game.
Yet I'm bent on submission,
Religion is to blame.
I'm the new messiah!
Death angel with a gun.
Dangerous in my silence,
Deadly to my cause.
Chorus:
Speak to me!!
The pain, you feel!!
Speak the word,
"Revolution"
The word is all of us.
Verse:
I've given my life to become what I am.
To preach a new beginning,
To make you understand.
To reach a point of order!
Utopia in mind.
You've got to learn to sacrifice,
To leave whats now behind.
Chorus:
Speak to me!!
(Speak to me.).
The pain, you feel!!
(The pain, you feel.).
Speak the word,
The word is all of us.
Speak the word,
The word is all of us.
Bridge:
Seven years of power,
The corporation claw.
The rich control the government,
The media, the law.
To make some kind of difference,
And everyone must know.
Eradicate the fascists,
Revolution will grow.
~~Solo~~
Verse:
The system says we're equal under law,
But the streets of reality,
The weak and poor will fall.
Lets tip the power balance,
And tear down their crown.
Educate the masses,
We'll burn the White House down
Chorus:
Speak to me!!
(Speak to me.).
The pain, you feel!!
(The pain, you feel)
Speak to me!!
(Speak to me.).
The pain, you feel!!
(The pain you feel.).
(The pain you feel.).
Speak the word,
"Revolution"
The word is all of us.
Speak the word,
"Revolution"
The word is all of us.
Speak the word,
"Revolution/Speak to me"
The word is all of us.
Speak the word,
"Revolution"
The word is all of us
Speak!!
