| 作词 : Clegg | |
| He’s a leader, talks of freedom | |
| He knows the power of the Big Idea | |
| He’s a dealer, he’s a seeker | |
| Of the power that comes from fear | |
| He gave his life to the party machine | |
| Holding on to a secret dream | |
| He knows better than anyone | |
| Power comes from the barrel of a gun | |
| And he’s rising up against them now | |
| And he’s rising up in country and town | |
| Rising up against them now, rising up | |
| The revolution will eat its children | |
| I see the river of dreams run dry | |
| I’m so thankful I got to love you | |
| You are the reason I survive | |
| The promise of a better life for all | |
| The promise of freedom from hunger and war | |
| So many rose up to answer the call | |
| And so many are no longer here at all | |
| The hopes of yesterday drowning in shifting sands | |
| ‘cause something strange is going on across the land | |
| Preaching water but drinking wine | |
| Power gets us every time | |
| The more things change | |
| The more they stay the same | |
| And they’re rising up against him now | |
| And they’re rising up in country and town | |
| And they’re rising up, rising up | |
| The revolution will eat its children | |
| I see the river of dreams run dry | |
| I’m so thankful I got to love you | |
| You are the reason I survive | |
| Free them from this hunger, | |
| Free! |
