Lyrics
You were once a freedom fighter, viva la revolution
Viva la revolution long live the revolution, on the same old tv shows
Every day plays out the same way, your books by marx and mao, every day plays out the same way
At every anarchist meeting, you dressed up for the battle
And everybody else was wrong, and shout down with everything
to help bring the system down
on the same old tv shows
Viva la revolution, viva la revolution
You had your che guevara poster, now from your semi in suburbia Die, you were the first to put your hand up
and every night you watch the same old shite
Viva la revolution, and shout down with everything
And this is what it said, there was graffiti painted all over your house, then you clock out and go home
then you clock out and go home
and everybody else was wrong
And as you joined the fight you knew that you were right, viva la revolution, viva la revolution long live the revolution
And you told yourself back then, you re free to just have fun
You were the first to put your hand up, then you clock out and go home
On the same old tv shows, viva la revolution long live the revolution
you were once a freedom fighter
You dressed up for the battle, at every anarchist meeting
Viva la revolution the revolution is on, then you clock out and go home
Your books by marx and mao, so you stumbled out of bed
and you got yourself a new haircut
You were once a teenage rebel, there was graffiti painted all over your house, viva la revolution
It s two hours sitting in a traffic jam, and you thank god that you won
viva la revolution long live the revolution
And everybody else was wrong, like a soldier from babylon, you re free to just have fun
Viva la revolution long live the revolution, on the same old tv shows Viva, you were the first to put your hand up
You dressed up for the battle, before you clock in for your job Hosen, viva la revolution
On the same old tv shows, to help bring the system down
At every anarchist meeting, and this is what it said, it s two hours sitting in a traffic jam
Viva la revolution long live the revolution, and shout down with everything
in the bars and in the marches and protest groups
You were once a teenage rebel, at every anarchist meeting Die, on the same old tv shows
You re free to just have fun, viva la revolution the revolution is on
and then walkies with the dog
Viva la revolution, on the same old tv shows
