Here we are still wonderin' who will stop the rain
Who will heal our wounds or ease the pain
Who will play with other people's lives, you see
These are troubled times, God have mercy on me

Every day we fight this war, and no one knows what the fighting's for
Lay down your arms, don't look no more
You'll need some love to fight the revolution blues, the revolution blues
The revolution blues, revolution blue-blue-blue-blue-blues!

Here we stand still shakin' to the thunder's crash
Fearin' that our walls come tumblin' down
Lost between heaven and hell and late-night tv
I'd give everything I got for a bit of sleep

You can't stand up for falling down, don't look straight into the heart of the sun
'Cause a blind man ain't supposed to run
You'll need some love to fight the revolution blues, the revolution blues
The revolution blues, revolution blue-blue-blue-blue-blues
