Lyrics

Revelation reveals the truth - revelation
(Revolution, revolution, revolution - oooo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Revolution - oooo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

It takes a revolution (revolution) to make a solution;
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
Too much confusion (aaa-aaah), so much frustration, eh!
I don't wanna live in the park (live in the park);
Can't trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark), yeah-eh!
So, my friend, I wish that you could see
Like a bird in the tree, the prisoners must be free, yeah! (free)

Never make a politician (aaa-aaah) grant you a favour;
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
They will always want (aaa-aaah) to control you forever, eh!
(Forever, forever)
So if a fire make it burn (make it burn, make it burn)
And if a blood make ya run (make ya run, run, run)
Rasta de 'pon top (aaa-aaah), can't you see? (doo-doo-doo-doo)
So you can't predict the flop. eh-eh! (doo-doo-doo-doo)

We got lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder)
Brimstone (brimstone) and fire - fire (fire, fire);
Lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder)
Brr-brimstone (brimstone) and fire - fiyah - fire - fiyah!
(Fire, fire)

Kill, cramp and paralyze all weak at conception;
(Aaa-aaah, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Wipe them out of creation (creation), yeah-eah! (creation)
Wa-jah, jah, jah! wa-jah, jah, jah! (creation)
Wa-jah, jah, jah! (creation)

Oh! let i'es is i'es (i'es), in i'es is black (i'es)
In i'es is red (i'es), in i'es is dread

Let righteousness cover the earth
Like the water (aaa-aaah) cover the sea, yeah! yeah!

Lightning (lightning), doo-doo-doo (thunder)
Doo-doo-doo (brimstone), doo-doo-doo (fire, fire);
A lightning (lightning), thunder (thunder)
Brimstone (brimstone) and fire
