Take pity on two-tone Eddie |
|
His hair was never right |
|
He used to be cool with a glint in his eye |
|
But he lost it overnight |
|
The spinning world is changing things are rearranging |
|
But Eddie says to me |
|
Nothing wrong with the way it was |
|
That's way it's meant to be |
|
Up the revolution |
|
We're all prepared to die |
|
Up the revolution |
|
That was the battle cry |
|
There's gonna be hell |
|
Hell to pay |
|
There's gonna be hell |
|
Hell to pay |
|
Eddie was a die-hard rebel |
|
In the good old days of way back when |
|
A cigarette was cool and all the kids in school |
|
Could read and count to ten |
|
Everyone said he had a future bright |
|
Of that there was no doubt |
|
He never could make us understand |
|
What the rebellion was all about |
|
Up the revolution |
|
We're all prepared to die |
|
Up the revolution |
|
That was the battle cry |
|
There's gonna be hell |
|
Hell to pay |
|
There's gonna be hell |
|
Hell to pay |
|
Two-tone Eddie drew up battle plans |
|
For making love not war |
|
Everybody laughed at the fighting in the street |
|
From behind a guarded door |
|
It came to nothing when it all went down |
|
And the band began to play |
|
Another plan, put your head in the sand |
|
Live to fight another day |
|
Up the revolution |
|
We're all prepared to die |
|
Up the revolution |
|
That was our battle cry |
|
There's gonna be hell |
|
Hell to pay |
|
There's gonna be hell |
|
Hell to pay |
|
It's a dirty business |
|
It's a crying shame |
|
You blink your eye |
|
And all the laws have changed |
|
They draw you in |
|
You hear a siren call |
|
Build you up |
|
So they can see you fall |
|
You've seen it all before |
|
Been there since time began |
|
You know what's coming next |
|
Everything gets out of hand |
|
It's a dirty business |
|
It's a crying shame |
|
You blink your eye |
|
And all the laws have changed |
|
They say the vulture |
|
Is a bird of prey No-one told me |
|
It would come this way |
|
You've seen it all before |
|
Been there since time began |
|
You know what's coming next |
|
Everything |
|
Everything gets out of hand |
