lyrics

Stand down.
Relinquish weapons.
Celebrate.
All you silly poseurs.
Stand down.
Get to steppin'.
Celebrate.
Your revolution's over.

Revolution over.

It was good enough to make you feel all warm inside.
It was the good stuff. Such a feel-good war.
It was good enough to help us pass the time.
It was good enough for who it was for

It was for you.

Revolution over.

All of our efforts to organize with our eyes on the prize
countering the lies of those who despise us
even as they kiss us and kiss us
we the 21st century Sisyphus Sisyphus
rocking and rolling the rock up the hill
boulder getting bolder soul rock rocking your soul
and the wide sea ebbs and flows
sea is wide and the sun rise high and sets east and west
and over and over and further and closer
hallelujah glory and glory
it's the same old samo story story
over and over and over and over and
Revolution over.

This time the bad guys won
Sell the wife. Sell the house. Sell the car. Sell the kids.
Forget it.
Run for your lives.
Revolution over.
