[B] [A]
[E] [B] [A]
[E] The cats like [A] me and you, they have [B] got [F#] laws, [A]
that they [E] adhere to.
Laws [A] outside the laws, [B] as they're down, [A] by those we [F#] don't subscribe [E] to.
The world [A] is getting stranger, [B] we'll [A] never lose our way.
[E] We can't just wait for the old to die, [B] before we can [E] make a new start.
[A] Bring on the revolution.
[E] [A] I wanna die for something.

[E] I wanna die for [A]
something.
[E] Bring on [A] the revolution.

[F#m] For [B] every freedom fighter, [C#] I [B] wanna hold on [C#] tighter.
[F#m] [B] See the hope in me, we [C#] gain.

[B]
[F#m] And one day, [A]
when I hear your [F#m] children sing,
[C#] Freedom will [B] bring, freedom will bring [E] freedom.
[A] When [F#] [E] [B]
[A] [E] we watch the children play, [B] [F#] remember [A] how the privileged [E] classes grow.
And from this day, it's up [B] to us [A] to undo what [B] won't undo.
[E] Looking [A] for the ground, and the [B] minute, [A] every breath justifies.
[E]
Every [A] step that we take, we'll remove with applause, the [B] beacon through.
And the children will understand [E] why.
Bring [A] on the revolution.
[E] Keep the pressure [A] on.
I wanna die for something.
