Silent Revolution

Shadows rattle underground
Plotting intellectual riot
Million eyes watch ahead
A million light years away
In a quiet and peaceful time
In a world made for the children
On a planet without war

No more children dying in war
No more victims of starvation
No more Jesus crucified
For bastard preachers in the church

It takes a real upheaval
But no blood's to be spilled
In a silent revolution
It's a silent revolution
Revolution

Spreading fast by word of mouth
The system will soom be tumbling down

Super powers share the world
Corruption grows on interest rates
Human beings count just as numbers
Worldly market is the priority
And the children smile is good
Just to sell more photograph paper
Desperate need of absolution
Can be paid by credit card
Do we need, do we need revolution?
Don't we need, don't we need revolution?

Most of population dies
Oppressed by debts made by politicians
Most of population dies
Due to disease got from pollution
Time is always short for living
Wages much too small for dreaming
"Sex is necessarily needed, buy it now"

Many millions souls now will claim
For a long deserved share of freedom
Many thousand years have gone by
And we still have slaves and dictators

But a silent revolution
We know that's what it takes
A silent revolution to make a change

Spreading fast by word of mouth
The system will soon be tumbling down
