RevolutionA Poem by Joey Izzy StarYou wanted to build Build up a wall You wanted to start Start a revolution You wanted to fly Fly above the rest You wanted to follow Follow nobody Yet here you stand Standing in line For the revolution You wanted to lead Lead the lot You wanted to speak Speak to their hearts You wanted to inspire Inspire the common man You wanted to lay Lay down the law Yet here you stand Standing in line For the revolution You wanted to gain Gain their trust You wanted to inflict Inflict whats deserved You wanted to trust Trust all of your friends You wanted to look Look down and smile Yet here you stand Standing in line For the revolution You never wanted to fall Fall from grace You never wanted to escape Escape from your fate You never wanted to cry Cry for the lost You never wanted to drink Drink on your own And here you run Running away From the revolution You never wanted to fail Fail them all You never wanted to scream Scream to the deaf You never wanted to fade Fade away You never wanted to die Die like the rest So here you lie Lying alone With no revolution
