The Day After The Revolution

Pulp

4

The dust has settled, replaced the bulbs in all the lights

I guess I'll get no sleep tonight

A revolution happened, oh sorry you haven't heard

We are the children of the new world

If you're quiet you can watch if you like

They say the future's beginning tonight

Whole empires will crumble, civilisations will fall

Lie on the bed, hear the sound of it all

No anger, no guilt and no sorrow

It sounds unlikely, I know but tomorrow you will wake up

To find that your whole life has changed

Although I know, but tomorrow you will wake up to find that you whole life has changed

Although nothing looks different a revolution took place

I love the way you do it, I love the way you put them on

You know the answers but you get it wrong, just to confuse things

Why did it seem so difficult to realise a simple truth?

The revolution begins and ends with you

Now all the breakdowns and nightmares look small

Now we decide not to die after all

Because the meek shall inherit absolutely nothing at all

If you stopped being so feeble you could have so much more

The answer was here all the time you see

Just how I missed it, is a mystery to me

I have waited and waited for this day to arrive

The revolution was televised, now it's over bye bye

It's over bye bye, it's over bye bye

Yeah, we made it

Just by the skin of our teeth Perfection is over, the Rave is over

Sheffield is over, The Fear is over, Guilt is over, please leave the building quietly

Bergerac is over, the hangover is over, Men are over, Women are over

Cholsesterol is over, Tapers are over, Irony is over

Bye bye bye bye
