revolution

we're learning about chinese history, so this is about the cultural revolution and the events after it. they're.. sort of song lyrics?

the tall grasses

become yellow and gray

they are the fading light

of a fading country,

and behind the grasses

the gunfire sounds

turn around, turn around

you must learn from the past

it's a revolution

don't you feel it in the air,

it's a revolution

yes, the time has come, the time is here

it's a revolution

time for you to fight for the right

yeah, they're corrupt

they've made some mistakes

but you need a government

or everything will fall apart

but don't you feel it in your heart

this way of life,

it's wrong, it can't be right

it's a revolution

you can hear it, it's like music

it's a revolution

we're finally starting to see 

it's a revolution

don't trust the wrong people, it's time

stand up, stand up

don't let them push you down

anymore, now's your chance

so grab it and run away

they won't catch you

they're too busy trying to be

the great ones, the shining stars

don't they know that

they're fine just where they are?

it's a revolution

a time of change, to move ahead

it's a revolution

we've been stuck in the past

it's a revolution

this is it, this is your chance

do everything you ever wanted now

say what you want to say,

don't hold it back

if you wanna scream, you can scream

if you're gonna cry, let the tears fall

the chairman is no longer the ruler of the reds

he's a sad old man whose power's going down

ooh, he's going down, down, down

it's a revolution

it's a revolution

it's a revolution

time for the people,

time for the change

time for the hope

to fill this country up

it's a revolution

it's a revolution

it's a revolution
