I Asked When歌词完整版

Well I dreamed I went out a wanderin'

I heard promises become fables forgotten

I saw bridges stretchin' out across the water

And towers pushing taller

I knew my reality was clearly defined

By the fences put up around my mind

I watched them thicken into walls over time

Taller than any boarder line

I saw civilizations deemed insignificant

I saw people's history tattooed on their skin

I saw families taken from their land

Dynasties shattered and stolen

And I asked when is a revolution

I asked when is a revolution

In all the burdens of centuries accrue

That get passed along to every generation's youth

And all the allegories told in lieu of truth

I watched them grow wild and spread like the flu

I saw the rise of an untamed industry

I watched machines paint a paper economy

I saw my own self stand right in front of me

And I didn't do a thing

I saw poisons pushed in the street

And prescription pills mingling in the mezzanine

With a whole host of wealth of doctors and pharmaceutical companies

Still poor people were dying from disease

And I asked when is a revolution

I asked when is a revolution

I asked when is a revolution

I asked when is a revolution

And I broke down at the break of dawn

I saw new meaning in the clouds above the Pentagon

As real as the Holocaust as strong as the Parthenon

Visions of Sudan Iraq and Vietnam

I stood silent upon a flooded levy

And stared at the ruins of a merchant city

And the president who came to dine with the noble elite

He didn't do a thing

I saw three ships come sailing in

Through the passage of the Caribbean

I saw children coming home in coffins

Millions marching on Washington

And I asked when is a revolution

I asked when is a revolution

I asked when, when is a revolution

I asked when is a revolution
