    lyrics

    Lyrics

    Bring up the real revolution
    As you know it won't be on TV
    This kind of thing you gotta stick around & get to know people to see
    It won't be won by rhetoric
    It won't be won with guns
    It won't be won standing on the backs of anyone
    If it's the real revolution it won't make us all the same
    If it's the one real revolution it won't need a name

    But peacefulness & compassion
    Family feeling & compassion
    Tolerance & compassion
    In a time of war & hate

    You go on about us & them
    You got em both inside
    One that you hold up a banner for
    One that you try to hide
    If it's a real revolution
    Won't be led by a man of war Y
    ou will become the thing you fight against
    If you only see what you fight for

    Beat the swords into ploughshares
    Beat the swords into ploughshares
    Beat your swords into ploughshares & dig in, & work

    Bring up the real revolution
    In your heart & mind
    Keep the thought of it close to you
    In desperate times
    It won't be led by a guru
    Who lives his life like a god
    It won't be led by a rockstar
    It won't be led by the mob
    If it's the real revolution
    It's the one within It's the one we've been fighting since the world began

    Peacefulness & compassion
    Family feeling & compassion
    Tolerance & compassion
    In a time of cold hearts
    & landmines
    & bombs
    & hate

    Beat your swords into ploughshares
    Beat your swords into ploughshares
    Beat your swords into ploughshares
    And dig in.
