Not My Revolution Songtext
von Itch feat. BC Jean

I′m a prowling, snarling, opinionated brat
Just a little fella, but the leader of the pack
You can't sensor me, I will never shut up
Attitude like a virgin, I don′t give a f*ck
No I won't be shaped and I won't be moulded
When I′m revolting, well, you′re revolted
So, who's to say which way′s suitable
I may not be pretty but god damn I'm beautiful
If I waste my time, singing love songs
If that′s the line drawn, I'm on the side that′s wrong
My heart is open, tapping this vibration
Living my life like it's a celebration
I'm living free now, painting up the walls
Dancing in the street, grabbing life by the balls
If I can′t dream beyond the midnight bells
Well you call it freedom, I call it something else.
′Cause If I can't dance, if I can′t sing
Then I got-got no contribution
'Cause if I can′t laugh, if I can't love
Then I can′t-can't find no solution


Then it's not my revolution
(I′m still hear dancing to the beat of my heart)
No it′s not my revolution
(Hoping I can make a fire out of the spark) No
It's not like I was born with this rage
See, I was just a street kid who was small for his age
Sleeping amongst the rats and the roaches
Homeless in the alleyway when the shadow approaches
I met some punks who took me to their squat
Said I could stay with them in the room with the rot
I heard the music for the first time, it blew my mind
It spoke to me, man, I studied every line
I swapped a bag of green for an acoustic guitar
Wrote a bunch of songs and screamed them all from my heart
Couldn′t get a gig so we opened up our own squats
Wheeled in the sound system then changed all the locks
No, I never let anything get in my way
I came from nothing and I'm solid as a rock to this day
So, do you really think that you can bring me down
I′ll be the last man standing my ground
'Cause If I can′t dance, if I can't sing
Then I got-got no contribution
'Cause if I can′t laugh, if I can′t love
Then I can't-can′t find no solution
Then it's not my revolution
(I′m still hear dancing to the beat of my heart)
No it's not my revolution
(Hoping I can make a fire out of the spark)
If I can′t stop outside the line
(That's all we need to bring us out of the darkness) No
Then it's not my revolution
(No, no, no it′s not)
It′s not my revolution
Not my revolution
It's not my revolution
Not my revolution
We can still dare to live, love and dream
If we believe that we got to fight to be free
So if I can′t dance and fall in love
Then it ain't what I′m fighting for and it never was
'Cause If I can′t dance
(If I can't dance)
If I can't sing
(If I can′t sing)
Then I got-got no contribution
(Then what′s my contribution)
'Cause if I can′t laugh
(Yeah)
If I can't love
(Trust)
Then I can′t-can't find no solution
(No solution)
Then it′s not my revolution
(I'm still here dancing to the beat of my heart)
No it's not my revolution
(Trying to make a fire out of the spark)
If I can′t stop outside the line
(That′s all we need to bring us out of the darkness) No
Then it's not my revolution
(No, not, no it′s not, no)
(Not my revolution)
I live this, I breathe this
(No, it's not my revolution)
You can′t hold me back, I came from nothing
(No, it's not my revolution)
I dare you to shut me up, this fire still burns
(No, it′s not my revolution)
Shine your light so bright
Yeah, forget the fear
