歌曲 | The Revolution Will Eat Its Children (Anthem for Uncle Bob) |
歌手 | Johnny Clegg |
专辑 | One Life |
作词 : Clegg | |
He’s a leader, talks of freedom | |
He knows the power of the Big Idea | |
He’s a dealer, he’s a seeker | |
Of the power that comes from fear | |
He gave his life to the party machine | |
Holding on to a secret dream | |
He knows better than anyone | |
Power comes from the barrel of a gun | |
And he’s rising up against them now | |
And he’s rising up in country and town | |
Rising up against them now, rising up | |
The revolution will eat its children | |
I see the river of dreams run dry | |
I’m so thankful I got to love you | |
You are the reason I survive | |
The promise of a better life for all | |
The promise of freedom from hunger and war | |
So many rose up to answer the call | |
And so many are no longer here at all | |
The hopes of yesterday drowning in shifting sands | |
‘cause something strange is going on across the land | |
Preaching water but drinking wine | |
Power gets us every time | |
The more things change | |
The more they stay the same | |
And they’re rising up against him now | |
And they’re rising up in country and town | |
And they’re rising up, rising up | |
The revolution will eat its children | |
I see the river of dreams run dry | |
I’m so thankful I got to love you | |
You are the reason I survive | |
Free them from this hunger, | |
Free! |

He' s a leader, talks of freedom | |

Rising up against them now, rising up | |

So many rose up to answer the call | |
And so many are no longer here at all | |
The hopes of yesterday drowning in shifting sands | |
' cause something strange is going on across the land | |
Preaching water but drinking wine | |
Power gets us every time | |
The more things change | |
The more they stay the same | |
And they' re rising up against him now | |
And they' re rising up in country and town | |
And they' re rising up, rising up | |
The revolution will eat its children | |
