Neil Young - Revolution Blues

Well, we live in a trailer
at the edge of town
You never see us
'cause we don't come around
We got twenty five rifles
just to keep
the population down
But we need you now
and that's why
I'm hangin' 'round
So you be good to me
and I'll be good to you
And in this land of conditions
I'm not above suspicion
I won't attack you
but I won't back you

Well, it's so good to be here
asleep on your lawn
Remember your guard dog
Well, I'm afraid
that he's gone
It was such a drag
to hear him
whining all night long
Yes, that was me with the doves
setting them free
near the factory
Where you built your computer
love
I hope you get the connection
'cause I can't take
the rejection
I won't deceive you
I just don't believe you

Well, I'm a barrel of laughs
with my carbine on
I keep 'em hoppin'
till my ammunition's gone
But I'm still not happy
I feel like
there's something wrong
I got the revolution blues
I see bloody fountains
And ten million dune buggies
comin' down the mountains
Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon
is full of famous stars
But I hate them worse than lepers
and I'll kill them
in their cars
Well, we live in a trailer
