World Turns a Revolution

Joseph Lee lost his job today The man's got so much to lose Wonders what his wife and kids will say It's a common situation for someone in his shoes Ever since his eighteenth birthday he's been out here on the clock He's been moving up and inside the white man's machine For twenty years he worked hard To make it to the top Still the boss man couldn't say why he chose Joseph Lee No one says a thing around here in this small town We're all scratching for the same dirty workerman's pay I haven't lived as long as he But I grew up with the same dreams I hope the lord forgives me If I look the other way But the world turns a revolution Turns around each and every day Maybe someday we will find a new solution For the changes the world goes through today The world is upside down Things just don't seem to make sense No one sees the clock as it unwinds Greed and lust and gain Fuel the filth of the machine As the right thing to do Becomes the last thing on our minds But the world turns a revolution Turns around each and every day Maybe someday we will find a new solution For the changes the world goes through today No one says a thing here in this small town We're all scratching for the same dirty workers pay I haven't lives as long as he But I grew up with the same dreams I hope the lord forgives me if I look the other way Look the other way But the world turns a revolution Turns around each and every day Maybe someday we will find a new solution For the changes the world goes through today But the world turns a revolution Turns around each and every day Maybe someday we will find a new solution For the changes the world goes through today
