Revolution in the Basement Lyrics

Down in the basement they plot and plan

Keyboard warriors with a master plan

Fighting the system they scream and shout

But they're lost in chaos there's no way out

Posters of Marx on the concrete wall

Blame the rich but they want it all

Preaching freedom but can't agree

Their utopia's a fantasy!

Revolution in the basement oh so bold

Throwing rocks but doing what they're told

Shouting loud The system's to blame!

But it's all just talk in a pointless game

Revolution in the basement day and night

Fighting shadows claiming they're right

Burn it down that's their refrain

But nothing's built it's all in vain

Masks and hoodies they hide their face

Smash the windows leave a trace

Fighting for justice or so they claim

But the flames they light all look the same

The cafes buzz with their angry talk

Over soy lattes they plan the walk

While Mom's upstairs paying the rent

They wage their war with zero cent

Revolution in the basement oh so bold

Throwing rocks but doing what they're told

Shouting loud The system's to blame!

But it's all just talk in a pointless game

Revolution in the basement day and night

Fighting shadows claiming they're right

Burn it down that's their refrain

But nothing's built it's all in vain

They talk of peace but light the fire

Point the finger call you a liar

No debate just slogans and hate

Their paradise is a twist of fate

What's the goal? Do they even know?

A world in chaos is all they show

Freedom lost in the smoke and fear

A broken dream is all that's clear

Revolution in the basement oh so bold

Throwing rocks but doing what they're told

Shouting loud The system's to blame!

But it's all just talk in a pointless game

Revolution in the basement day and night

Fighting shadows claiming they're right

Burn it down that's their refrain

But nothing's built it's all in vain

So light your fires smash the glass

But your revolution will never last

The world moves on while you still dream

Of a perfect life in your smoke-filled scheme
