Words and music by Nick Nylen

lyrics

We talk when we get thirsty
Down there in a communal kitchen
Buckled in chairs feeling antsy
No sound but the fridge compressor

And all the while the seasons change
But I'm not feelin' any younger

I have an assembly line
I make little children
With the water I pour them
They'll be too big for the garden

And all the while the seasons change
And I am getting so much older

I'm gonna hit the road
I'm gonna make you cry
It's easy come and easy go
Is there something in your eye?
Is there something in your eye?

There ain't a resolution
So I draw x's in squares
July, August, September
Soon comes rebellion

It's interesting that the calendar's full
But your name's not even listed
Yeah, your name's not even listed!

I'm gonna hit the road
I'm gonna make you cry
It's easy come and easy go
Is there something in your eye?
I'm gonna hit the road
I'm marching out the door
A band that holds a stone
Don't need that no more!
I'm marching off to war!

This is the revolution!
This is the revolution!
This is the revolution!
This is the revolution!

(and so on)
