Songs Title：i asked when[00:00:02]

Well i dreamed i went out a wanderin'[00:00:24]

I heard promises become fables forgotten[00:00:29]

I saw bridges stretchin' out across the water[00:00:34]

And towers pushing taller[00:00:41]

I knew my reality was clearly defined[00:00:45]

By the fences put up around my mind[00:00:51]

I watched them thicken into walls over time[00:00:56]

Taller than any boarder line[00:01:01]

I saw civilizations deemed insignificant[00:01:07]

I saw people's history tatooed on their skin[00:01:13]

I saw families taken from their land[00:01:18]

Dynasties shattered and stolen[00:01:25]

And i asked when is a revolution[00:01:30]

I asked when is a revolution[00:01:41]

In all the burdens of centuries accrue[00:01:52]

That get passed along to every generation's youth[00:01:59]

And all the allegories told in lieu of truth[00:02:03]

I watched them grow wild and spread like the flu[00:02:09]

I saw the rise of an untamed industry[00:02:15]

I watched machines paint a paper economy[00:02:20]

I saw my own self stand right in front of me[00:02:26]

And i didn't do a thing[00:02:32]

I saw poisons pushed in the street[00:02:38]

And prescription pills mingling in the mezzanine[00:02:43]

With a whole host of wealth of doctors and pharmaceutical companies[00:02:48]

Still poor people were dying from disease[00:02:54]

And i asked when is a revolution[00:03:00]

I asked when is a revolution[00:03:11]

I asked when is a revolution[00:03:23]

I asked when is a revolution[00:03:35]

And i broke down at the break of dawn[00:03:46]

I saw new meaning in the clouds above the Pentagon[00:03:52]

As real as the hollocaust as stong as the Parthanon[00:03:58]

Visions of Sudan Iraq and Vietnam[00:04:03]

I stood silent upon a flooded levy[00:04:09]

And stared at the ruins of a merchant city[00:04:15]

And the president who came to dine with the noble elite[00:04:21]

He didnt do a thing[00:04:26]

I saw three ships come sailing in[00:04:32]

Through the passage of the CARIBBEAN[00:04:38]

I saw children coming home in coffins[00:04:44]

Millions marching on washington[00:04:49]

And i asked when is a revolution[00:04:55]

I asked when is a revolution[00:05:06]

I asked when when is a revolution[00:05:17]

I asked when is a revolution[00:05:29]
