Billy told her lover she had to break away Couldn't stand to be there One more night or another day Said if you're comin' with me You better decide real fast It's dark on that horizon and This light ain't gonna last Well they made it to the border With no time left to lose When they crossed on over Billy sang the Revolutionary Blues Tommy woke up early from a wild and fitful sleep A nightmare still in his head An appointment to keep Now someone's gotta do it There's no justice in this town He strolled on through the main street And burned the courthouse down A crowd gathered round Asked him why he lit the fuse Tommy stood there laughin' And sang the Revolutionary Blues You may yearn to know your future But you don't wanna pay the price SongtexteSo you turn your back on reason And listen to some fool's advice Go stumbling along that track Into a bleak and foreign land Ain't ever gonna reach Shangri-La Unless you make a final stand Love is kind and patient not jealous proud or rude It says so in the good book Then I guess it must be true Why do we go on hatin' And livin' in a world of fear Boxed up for survival In a poisoned atmosphere History's got its heroes They all had to choose And if I'm not mistaken They sang the Revolutionary Blues History's got its heroes They all had to choose And if I'm not mistaken They sang the Revolutionary Blues Aus Songtexte Mania
