When you look from side to side
Tell me what you see
The homeless huddling for shelter
The rampant poverty
The workers struggle to survive
While the bosses lock their chains
The revolution must come alive
If we want this to change
When you listen with both ears
Tell me what you hear
Our children cry at night with hunger
While the police escalate our fears
Politicians whisper behind closed doors
Making life harder for us each year
Revolution is our only answer
This much is very clear
When you see the many ills
Tell me what you feel
Sorrow for our uneducated youth?
Anger at how it’s all concealed?
How much longer must we stay quiet?
Our children deserve true equality
It is time to start the riots
No longer will we be treated with frivolity
Until we solve our revolutionary puzzle
We will stand in unity!
It’s all one struggle
And together we can be free!
