(People Get Ready for the) Revolution
(Lynott ? / Johnson ?)

They come
They come forward
Hope not to die
Standing in the land

Freedom
And then they're away
Don't you feel the pain
Don't you feel the same

People get ready for the revolution
People get ready for the overthrow
Now the time has come to use our guns
Now's the time to let it all go

O-o-o-oh
O-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-oh

But they're not just dyin'
Their faces to the ground (right)
They were lost without a sound
Dying, for you not to leave
For you not to, please
'cause everyone is free

People get ready for the revolution
People get ready for the overthrow
Now the time has come to use our guns
Now's the time to overthrow
(People get ready)

O-o-o-oh
O-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-oh

And in the new battle
You have the wildest dream
And the job stays new
Together
You know they're child-like
You hold their hand
And you understand
To try again

People get ready for the revolution
People get ready for the overthrow
Now the time has come to use our guns
The battle's over, the war is won
People get ready for the revolution
People get ready for the overthrow
Now the time has come to use our guns
Now's the time to overthrow
People get ready for the revolution
People get ready for the overthrow
Now is the time use our guns
Now is the time to overthrow

O-o-o-oh
O-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-oh
