lyrics

livin in the city while the city burns
the tv man said it was bad
he didn’t say what the fuss was for
then he played a campaign ad

Doomscrolling with the nervous blues
nothing much seems to change
normal day, week and month, and year,
the whole world’s going insane

got a job cashin delivery fees
then on the weekend I’m a revolutionary

down in a basement in a nearby town
where the dudes hiding out
they’re hacking laptops in their bulletproof vests
directing troops from the couch

never alone, they’re in my cellphone
somebody’s listening to me
it ain’t Siri, no it aint no Google
think it must be police
better keep movin or they’ll know what you do
it’s the Revolution 2020 blues

man in a suit skyscraper high
signs his name on the line
he’s playin’ die with their very livers
but he keeps it far out of his mind

opposing armies on the battlefield
can see them just down the street
see them lined up with their shooting guns
yeah they looking mean

the shops and windows boarded up too
there’s no telling what they might do

how much longer can we keep holding on?
I feel like I’m gonna crack
its every night, every morning at 4
think the smoke’s coming back

there ain’t no city, there ain’t no township
there ain’t no place to get away
the fires burning all thru the province
I don’t know what I can say
the heat and the smoke and the evening news
Revolution 2020 blues

out in the country far from the flashbangs
I know a place we can stay
got 15 cases of vitamin water
stockpiling double As

they took the mailbox out from the porch
they broke the machinery
in the big house they’re sweating tough
way that it seems to me

pace of of the punches got me fearin’ too
Revolution 2020 blues

heard bout the trouble with the central banks
I’m buying crypto this week
cuz if its true they tracking you too
but they wont find me

I use encryption get my prescription
enough to get me through
it’s my subscription to ease the friction
that’s just between me and you
you better keep your lips sealed too
that Revolution 2020 blues
