lyrics

One two, one two three [Spoken]

​​The word is revolution
But no one’s fired the shot
Each side has its battle plan
With detailed counterplot
And the world is closely watching
As we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine

The water is polluted
And the air is filled with death
Some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
But it’s all in Revelation
It’s part of the design
'n if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine

Sha la la la la la la la la la [x4]

Well I marched for peace in Washington
Things were getting hot
Then I gave blood in Chicago
Went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked to Toronto, John
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down this song to you
To sing and pass along to you
If you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine

Sha la la la la la la la la la
Revolution
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Peace or pollution
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Persecution
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Ooh Jesus come quickly
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
The world's getting sickly
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
Revolution
(Sha la la la la la la la la la) Oh oh oh
Sha la la la la
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
You're the solution
(Sha la la la la la la la la la) Sha la sha la sha la yourself
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
​One way sha la
Sha la la la la la one way sha la la la la
One way
(Sha la la la la la la la la la)
