lyrics

Another case of beer and my rant fell on deaf ears
sleep'n on the soap box election year
we all sang along to the Redemption Song
but no ones made a movement in oh so long

Passed out on the pedestal you're preach'n to the choir
and the hypocrite's the first one to point out the liar
you say it's not my president cause I didn't vote
you didn't like the captain but you didn't rock the boat

(and it's so sad to say, it so sad its so sad to say
we let things turn out this way
So sad to say, its so sad to say
The problem is we're the only solution and we all want change
but there's no revolution)

Dragging my feet to the beat of my own drum
while the brothers in the middle east are blown to kingdom come
and all the slogans on my shirt and all the flags that i have burnt
all add up to nothing while I'm passed out in the dirt

I sit and bitch about the problems and assume there's no solution
caught a cue from Billy Barty and I came to the conclusion
the key to make a change lies in one hand and it is mine
you can say that I'm wasting my time and I'll tell you I tried

(and it's so sad to say, it so sad its so sad to say
we let things turn out this way
So sad to say, its so sad to say
The problem is we're the only solution and we all want change
but there's no revolution)
