  • This can't be living now
    If so then show me how
    We'll shake, shake, shake the night away
    We shook, shook, shook the night away
    Wanna love like this love was young
    But will I die as I become
    Blinded at the bottom of it all?

    You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
    'Til the revolution comes
    Got it all, you got it all, you got it all
    'Til the revolution comes
    I want a world like (The revolution comes)
    My teacher taught me it would be (The revolution comes)
    I want a love like
    My parents told me it would be

    When I was born I defied your times
    But they were nothing, nothing like mine
    We'll shake, shake, shake the night away
    We shook, shook, shook the night away
    Feels like school again
    But learning's all right there
    Blinded at the bottom of it all

    You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
    'Til the revolution comes
    Got it all, you got it all, you got it all
    'Til the revolution comes
    I want a world like (The revolution comes)
    My teacher taught me it would be (The revolution comes)
    I want a love like
    My parents told me it would be

    We'll shake, shake, shake the night away
    We shook, shook, shook the night away
    This can't be living now
    If so then show me how
    And we'll find it
    At the bottom of it all

    You got it all, you got it all, you got it all
    'Til the revolution comes
    Got it all, you got it all, you got it all
    'Til the revolution comes
    I want a world like (The revolution comes)
    My teacher taught me it would be (The revolution comes)
    I want a love like
    My parents told me it would be Writer/s: John Baldwin Gourley
