      C                        F         C 
I spent twenty-seven years in this factory 
      C                           F           C 
And the boss man says, 'hey you're not what we need' 
      C                            F               C 
The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed 
      F                         G 
It's a solitary life when you've mouths to feed 
  G                    C 
But who cares about us? 

    C                                F            C 
Now I'm back on the streets With my hands held shut 
     C            F            C 
I'm a workingman without any work 
        C                  F        C 
Well is this the way it's meant to be 
        C                    F          C 
Because I signed off for the American Dream 
       C                    F            C 
Now, I write my name to the welfare scheme 
     F                            G 
The money in the bank, well it's history 

        C                      F        C 
So take me down to where the worlds collide 
      F       C             F      C 
And leave me here 'til I'm satisfied 
           F         G 
So let the Revolution begin 

Now I drag these bones 
'Cross the barren land 
Where once a city, now an outstretched hand 
We can't lose our sense of dignity 
While the fat-faced cats lap up the cream 
Another disappearing act falls up their sleeves 
While the shirts on our back seek refugee 

So take me down to where the worlds collide 
And leave me here 'til I'm satisfied 
'Cause there'll come a day 
When all of us will show, we won't be afraid 
Although we're crashing, we won't burn 
Let the Revolution, the revolution begin 

I spent twenty-seven years in this factory 
And the boss man says, 'hey you're not what we need' 
The penguins in the suits they know nothing but greed 
It's a solitary life when you've mouths to feed 

So take me down to where the worlds collide 
And leave me here 'til I'm satisfied 
Do take me down to where the worlds divide 
And leave me here I won't compromise 
'Cause there'll come a day 
When all of us will show, we won't be afraid 
'Cause from these ashes we will grow 
So let the Revolution, the Revolution, the Revolution begin... 
begin...begin...begin...begin...begin
