1. When the revolution comes, ain’t gonna need no bombs or guns
Just people speaking truth across the land
When the revolution comes, ain’t gonna cry, ain’t gonna run
Just get out in the streets and join the band, join the band
2. When the revolution’s here, ain’t gonna play the game of fear
We’ll shout down little creatures preaching hate
When the revolution’s here, gonna sing it loud and clear
We’ll all join hands and open up the gates
CHORUS:
Pitchu li sha’arei tzedek / avo vam odeh Yah
Pitchu li sha’arei tzedek / avo vam odeh Yah

Milk of Human Kindness
04:45

1. Gotta open up your eyes / take a look around
Ain’t no surprise / that the rules are breaking down
Love and compassion are in short supply
The milk of human kindness is about to run dry
2. It’s hard to know / just where to begin
With tempers getting short / and patience wearing thin
It’s easy to complain, we’ve all done our share
But we’ve done as much complaining as the market will bear
CHORUS:
Pick a card, any card, nothing up my sleeve
Everyone’s a winner if you only believe
Circle left, circle right, reach for the sky
The dance ain’t over till the music dies
3. I’m not gettin' any younger / not feeling very brisk
I’d like to fix the world but I’m averse to risk
I’ll reach out to you / if you reach out to me
But if I go first, will there be a guarantee
Open up your eyes / take a look around
Ain’t no surprise / that the rules are breaking down
Love and compassion are in short supply
The milk of human kindness is about to run dry
Pick a card, any card, nothing up my sleeve
Everyone’s a winner if you only believe
Circle left, circle right, reach for the sky
The dance ain’t over till the music dies

1. There's anger on the rise / mud is gettin deep
Can’t seem to close my eyes / I'm not gettin any sleep
Shouting in the streets / shooting in the schools
They’re turnin up the heat / breakin all the rules
Seems like only yesterday
we could keep our fears at bay forever
Seems like only yesterday
we could dance the night away forever
2. Greed is in the air / poison in the ground
Don’t seem very fair / but the hammer’s comin down
There’s people preachin hate / people putting up walls
The wolves are at the gate / they’re waiting for the fall
Seems like only yesterday
I could wipe your tears away forever
Seems like only yesterday
we could dance the night away forever

Fin papir, vel’n mir, boyen boyen, oy, a brik
Katsh’n zikh, katsh’n zich, in indzer land tsurik (2x)
Vus vet zayn, vus vet zayn, az mashiakh vet kimen tsi geyn
Yie bye bye bye, yie bye bye bye, yie bye bye ba bye
From paper, from paper, we will, we will build a bridge
And we’ll roll, and we’ll roll along back to the land.
This is a time of trials and tribulation
the yetzer hara, the evil inclination, taking
root in our hearts, tearing apart the fabric of our lives
History repeats itself through the generations
Over and over in so many iterations
We think we’re changing but we’re sliding into tribalism
Condoning violence and slipping into nihilism
“The arc of history bends toward justice”
I wanna believe it but you gotta have trust in
your fellow human being, that’s not what I’m seeing
I see a shadow creeping across the land
A shadow spreading like a stubborn infection
Bringing us all to this intersection
of darkness and light, of fight or flight,
of what’s wrong and what’s right
