"They shall hunger no more, neither shall they thirst anymore!

Every tear from their eyes"

Sick and tired of my brothers killing each other
Sick and tired of daddies leavin' babies with their mothers
To every man who wants to lay around and play around
Listen partner, you should be man enough to stay around
Sick and tired of the church talkin' religion
And yet, they talk about each other, makin' decisions
No more racism! Two-facism! No pollution! The solution?
A revolution!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooooh ooooh
Do you want a revolution?
Whoo, whoo!
I Say, do you want a revolution?
Whoo, whoo!
Come on!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooooh ooooh
Do you want a revolution?
Whoo, whoo!
I Say, do you want a revolution?
Whoo, whoo!

No crime, no dying, politicians lying
Everybody's tryingTo make a dollar
It makes me wanna holler
The way they do my life
The way they do my life
There's gonna be a brighter day
All your troubles will pass away
A revolution's comin', yes, it's comin', comin'
Revolution's comin', yes, it's comin'
Revolution's comin' comin'

Oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooooh ooooh
Do you want a revolution?
Whoo, whoo!
I Say, do you want a revolution?
Whoo, whoo!
Come on!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooooh ooooh
Do you want a revolution?
Whoo, whoo!
I Say, do you want a revolution?
Whoo, whoo!

What you feelin'? What you want, son?
Who you calling to, son?
You know, Jesus is the True Son
The second in the Triniy
I know you feelin' Him
Five hundred days left until the new Millenium
You hearin' 'em
Trumpets crack the sky, Christ the last, the first
The first, the last, and won't pass
So don't be caught slippin' brotha
Don't be trippin' brotha
Cause when I see ya
You better not be dippin' brotha

Everywhere we go, we say we move too much
We do too much
But when you step against us
A yo, you lose too much
Ain't no stoppin' what I'm doin'
When the Spirit Movin'
Don't be hatin' what I'm doin'
I'm the vessel He's usin'
Everywhere I be they try to judge me
They try to shake me
They try to budge me
But they can't break me
Cause I'm down with Christ
Darkchild and Nu Nation make ya feel alright

The Book of Revelations, in the Bible, says that at the end of times God will establish a kingdom of peace and love in the world, and then all the evil and bad things will disappear (there won't be any hunger or thirst anymore). But only the good people will participate in that kingdom, so we are told to be ready for that day, because we don't know the day or the time when it will arrive.

The singer remembers some of the bad things we have in the world now and urge people to get ready for that New Kingdom, because that will bring the ultimate Revolution to earth, God's revolution.
