[00:11.92]It was a time I'll always remember
[00:14.51]Because I could never forget
[00:17.28]How reality fell down around us
[00:20.06]Like some Western movie set
[00:23.24]And once the dust all settled
[00:26.42]The sun shone so bright
[00:29.15]And a great calm took over us
[00:31.77]Like it was all gonna be alright
[00:36.26]That's how it felt to be alive
[00:42.74]After the revolution
[00:51.26]From Groton to Tacoma
[00:53.44]On many a factory floor
[00:56.05]The workers talked of solidarity
[00:59.04]And refused to build weapons of war
[01:02.44]No more will we make missiles
[01:05.33]We're gonna do something different
[01:08.95]And for the first time
[01:11.63]Their children were proud of their parents
[01:15.30]And somewhere in Gaza a little boy smiled and cried
[01:21.93]After the revolution
[01:35.98]Prison doors swung open
[01:38.88]And mothers hugged their sons
[01:41.63]The Liberty Bell was ringing
[01:44.17]When the cops put down their guns
[01:47.40]A million innocent people
[01:50.14]Lit up in the springtime air
[01:52.80]And Mumia and Leonard and Sarah Jane Olson
[01:56.06]Took a walk in Tompkins Square
[01:59.93]And they talked about what they'd do now
[02:06.61]After the revolution
[02:15.05]The debts were all forgiven
[02:16.98]In all the neo-colonies
[02:20.57]And the soldiers left their bases
[02:23.00]Went back to their families
[02:26.44]And a non-aggression treaty
[02:29.00]Was signed with every sovereign state
[02:32.19]And all the terrorist groups disbanded
[02:35.05]With no empire left to hate
[02:38.89]And they all started planting olive trees
[02:45.68]After the revolution
[02:59.21]George Bush and Henry Kissinger
[03:01.95]Were sent off to the World Court
[03:04.82]Their plans for global domination
[03:07.74]Were pre-emptively cut short
[03:11.10]Their weapons of mass destruction
[03:13.80]Were inspected and destroyed
[03:17.40]The battleships were dismantled
[03:19.91]Never again to be deployed
[03:24.09]And the world breathed a sigh of relief
[03:30.67]After the revolution
[03:38.15]Solar panels were on the rooftops
[03:41.84]Trains upon the tracks
[03:44.01]Organic food was in the markets
[03:46.94]No GMO's upon the racks
[03:51.10]And all the billionaires
[03:53.60]Had to learn how to share
[03:56.19]And Bill Gates was told to quit his whining
[03:59.61]When he said it wasn't fair
[04:02.96]And his mansion became a collective farm
[04:09.49]After the revolution
[04:23.59]And all the political poets
[04:25.97]Couldn't think of what to say
[04:29.26]So they all decided
[04:32.06]To live life for today
[04:35.10]I spent a few years catching up
[04:38.01]With all my friends and lovers
[04:41.29]Sleeping til eleven
[04:44.01]Home beneath the covers
[04:47.88]And I learned how to play the banjo
[04:54.31]After the revolution
[04:58.74]
