Lubricating The Revolution

Strung Out

The mirror never lies

and neither does the face

of a man who doesn't know where his place is

This man and his shadow

know exactly where they're going

straight to hell in all it's glory

with the rest of it all



I set myself up

so that I can set myself apart

and find another way

On this planet I call my home

I'll be an island



I'll rent a revolution

and sell my soul to the cause

as a million footsteps march in my parade

And I'll buy the moon, a bomb

and aim it straight at number one

cause nobody really wants a revolution to come



I set myself up

so that I can see what's going on

and never be like you

If you have any questions

feel free to make up your mind

On this planet here right now

there's a place for everyone to just be

On this planet here right now

there's no place I'd rather be



I set myself up

so that I can see what's going on

and never be like you

If you have any questions

feel free to make up your mind

On this planet I call my home

I'll be an island
