lyrics

Pressure's high, getting propped up by some painkillers and a bottle of booze
You don't look like a kid, but you wish that you did, because you don't have a lot to lose
It's the way you get by, so you walk out on stage
But you're mind's getting dry from hard drugs and old age
You're still playing your part, but all the spirit is gone
I'm sick of singing someone else's revolution song

You're not a rolling stone no more, a blockade and a major distraction
We've heard it all a million times before, and we're not getting no satisfaction
All your records went triple gold
But there's just no denying that they're getting old
So stop saying you're right when you know that you're wrong
I'm sick of singing someone else's revolution song

Walk into the record store; everybody's saying something's wrong
Well maybe so, but I know I'm sure a protest is the song of the young
So quit your same old song and dance
You ought to give someone else a bit more of a chance
I'm done sitting around, I'm done singing along
I'm sick of singing someone else's revolution song
