About This Track

'Revolution' by Tool is a 2014 song whose lyrics look from the street edge in, weighing survival, resentment, and a refusal to cope, in the grim register of someone asking what is left to live for. The speaker frames “feelings” as something that arrive naturally, then treats what remains as a loss. Rather than offering solutions, it keeps returning to a determination not to see or deal with what is coming.

"Revolution" is a track by Tool, released 20th January 2014. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Tool.

Lyrics

Revolution

[Verse 1]

Living on the street shores

He didn't learn and wanted children

Said, "What is there left to stay alive for?"

He doesn't want to see it

He didn't want to deal with it

Here they come, feelings that come as natural

Whatever left, he considered a loss, you all

He doesn't want to see it

[Bridge]

Running away, getting some kinda cure

"What is there left to keep him alive?" she said

Give him your love, give him your love to save him[x2]

Give him your love, give him your love to save him

Don't run away, give him your love to save him

Give him your love, give him your love to save him

Give him your love

[Chorus] [x2]

You can kill the revolutionary

But you can't kill the revolution

[Verse 2]

Lies, negative indoctrination of our good selves

Promote feelings of such hopelessness, powerlessness

Suicide or a slower death from addiction

Seemed to be the only way to stop the pain

Running

Lies, negative indoctrination of our good selves

Promote feelings of such hopelessness, powerlessness

Suicide or a slower death from addiction

Seemed to be the only way to stop the pain

Suicide seemed to be the only way to stop the pain

[Chorus][x2]
