Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woii yoii, woii yoii, woii yoii
[Verse 2]
Do you know what it means to have a revolution?
And what it takes to make a solution?
Fighting against oppression, ooh yeah
Battering down depression
[Verse 3]
Whoa yeah
Na ahh whoa
Ooh yeah
Na ahh whoa
[Verse 4]
Are you ready to stand up and fight the right revolution?
Are you ready to stand up and fight it just like soldiers?
Many are called, few are chosen
Many are called, few are chosen
[Verse 5]
Ooh yeah
Na ahh whoa

Are you ready to stand up and fight the right revolution?
Are you ready to stand up and fight it just like soldiers?
Many are called, few are chosen
Many are called, few are chosen
