Genviel - UnRevolution (feat. Meg Morgan & Marcello Vieira) Lyrics

Tanks are rolling through the streets
Tracks mulching the asphalt
Past the playground and the park
While through the open windows of
Apartment buildings up above
Your neighbors are staring down
The only sound is the squeal
Of steel on steel as turrets turn
Frightened eighteen-year-olds inside
The tanks are desperately trying
To get that f*cking tank to turn
Without hitting a streetlight
Their ammunition is live
A sense of lawlessness about
Of giddy carnival despair

Time ran out for debate
All sides are issuing demands
The city sizzling with hate
Time for building barricades
Burning tires downtown
Time for looting banks and stores
Bringing flags and statues down

The column rattles as it crawls
It is mid-August. Buildings sweat
TV and radio are dead
Communications are down
A radio hobbyist somewhere
Somehow got onto the air
Excited, nervous, out of breath
An unprofessional voice broadcasts
Which neighborhoods the tanks have passed
Loud whispers bounce off the walls
Familiar streets appear strange
Anticipation of change
Anticipation of death
A sense of national suicide
The column nears a tunnel and stalls

Time ran out for debate
All sides are issuing demands
The city sizzling with hate
Time for building barricades
Burning tires downtown
Time for looting banks and stores
Bringing flags and statues down

Down by the tunnel frantic moms
Are trying to reason with their sons
To stop, to turn those tanks around
But those boys are under oath
They cannot disobey commands
The column exhales and proceeds
Their armor molten from the heat
The tanks come rolling up the street
And line up, guns trained on the crowd
Theatrical pause. No one moves
Until someone behind you shouts
Get down, there're snipers on the roofs
The crowd breaks and starts to run
The only sound is your heart beat
Arthritic coughing of the gun

Time ran out for debate
All sides are issuing demands
The city sizzling with hate
Time for building barricades
Burning tires downtown
Time for looting banks and stores
Bringing flags and statues down
The world that you once knew is lost

Tanks are rolling down the streets
Tanks are rolling down the streets
Tanks are rolling down the streets
