Older By The Minute Lyrics

The kings of old counted their gold

Locked up their treasure tight

They tried to rule with silver spoons

But they could not get it right

Louis sixteen and his queen

Thought it would never end

But hunger is a thunder

And lightning struck their heads

You can't fool the people without limit

Everyone grows older by the minute

Revolutionaries in the street

Fghting for a change

The old gives way to a new day

And effigies are hanged

Still every verse must soon return

To the same refrain

An angry mob will never stop

A heart from feeling pain

Revolution is just the people in it

Everyone grows older by the minute

It's black and white, it's day and night

It's the stories we've been told

There's no escaping from our fate

When the flag of hate unfolds

History's no mystery

It's just a bloody mess

So look ahead to what comes next

And always bring your best

It's not the fight it's the heart that you put in it

Everyone grows older by the minute

It's not the fight it's the heart that you put in it

Everyone grows older by the minute
