about

This song was written in 2001 - before 9/11. It still reflects my political helplessness in an unpleasantly accurate way. The original version of this song was based on Midi-bells, now it's 98% analog synths.

lyrics

REVOLUTION

The world is tumbling, sweating and trembling,
it has gone mad, that’s what they say
Well, the problem is not that the world has gone mad
it has gone mad in the wrong way

Turn on the TV and you know what I mean
and if you don't, it's even worse
they drive the world straight to hell
in a 1-billion-dollar hearse

Listen, my love, I have a plan
We'll try a little revolution again
we can't save the world, not one bit
but we should refuse to get used to it

Did you know that with a certain lack of luck
They can even force you to waste your week
You need money not to need money
And when you get it, life has passed its peak.

You tell me to relax, it's not so bad, you say,
mistaking luck for normality.
Well, sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not
And when you're not, come and sing with me:

Sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not!
Sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not!
good fortune helps you to cool down a bit
but without it it will get hot

Listen, my love, I have a plan
we're trying a little revolution again
maybe we can't change the world
but we can refuse to be changed by it
