Would you have me make a choice?
Do I join the revolution?
Will I be just another voice
In the chorus of confusion?
Well I don't know any more
'Cause I fought them once before
Yes I fought them in the Spanish Civil War
Oh oh
Throw the fuel upon the fire
Paint the fact and not the fiction
Compose an anthem to inspire
Reflect the human crucifixion
Well I tried it, won't ya know
As a soldier in the snow
In a dreary Russian winter long ago
Oh oh
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh oh oh oh, 'cause I don't know
Oh no, I don't know
So I'll leave it in your hands
To fulfill the obligation
Can the measure of a man
Be the fruit of his creation?
Though our talk was incomplete
And our meanings didn't meet
I'll be with you when you're fighting in the street
Oh oh
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Oh oh, 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Do I join the revolution?
Will I be just another voice
In the chorus of confusion?
Well I don't know any more
'Cause I fought them once before
Yes I fought them in the Spanish Civil War
Oh oh
Throw the fuel upon the fire
Paint the fact and not the fiction
Compose an anthem to inspire
Reflect the human crucifixion
Well I tried it, won't ya know
As a soldier in the snow
In a dreary Russian winter long ago
Oh oh
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh oh oh oh, 'cause I don't know
Oh no, I don't know
So I'll leave it in your hands
To fulfill the obligation
Can the measure of a man
Be the fruit of his creation?
Though our talk was incomplete
And our meanings didn't meet
I'll be with you when you're fighting in the street
Oh oh
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Oh oh, 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
Hey where's the revolution?
Oh 'cause I don't know
