Keep Hope Alive

DEMAND Met an old man on the subway yesterday Said 'now that I'm gray no one cares what I have to say Back in my prime, I thought hard for what's right Kids these days are too afraid' 'Yes I started a revolution with my own hands Wasn't blinded by illusion, I took a stand Yes I started a revolution, did not back down It was time to demand' On my way home I felt changed and a litle crazy When you realize life's a game, you're not the same The world's a con if you're raised poor and want something more Are born in a certain place and have a certain face 'Yes I'm starting a revolution with my own hands Won't be blinded by illusion, I'll take a stand Yes I'm starting a revolution, I won't back down It's time to demand' On the folks in power tell us not to worry But their definition of truth is worthly of fury It's their casual relationship with honesty that bums in me Let's not belive any more of their stories 'Yes I'm starting a revolution with my own hands Won't be blinded by illusion, I'll take a stand Yes I'm starting a revolution, I won't back down It's time to demand' Ther will be resistence, there will be the other side I belive in our persistence, I belive it with my life Go till there's nothing more to offer, nothing left to give Let's leave nothing left to long for, nothing left to forgive 'Yes I'm starting a revolution with my own hands Won't be blinded by illusion, I'll take a stand Yes I'm starting a revolution, I won't back down It's time to demand'
