"United States" lyrics - THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS
"United States"

Tired eyes, closed for days.
There's no regret, 'cause there's no place.
I don't know what I believe, but if I feel safe, what do I need?
A home.

Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues!
What will they do?
Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues!
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?
What will they do to me?

Dulcet tongues, whisper fast.
The future yearns; right now's the past.
Rouse me soon; the end draws nigh.
Whose side are you on?
Your blood you cannot buy.

Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues!
What will they do?
Revolution! Revolution! Revolution blues!
What will they do to you?

Well, I, I feel all right, so tonight, I got to ask you why,
Why deny it?
It's no surprise; I've got to survive.

Freedom shines the light ahead,
I'll lead the last charge from bed.
I said my last rights,
I don't have to run scared no more.

Fight, I wanna fight, I wanna fight a revolution tonight.
I wanna fight, I wanna fight a revolution tonight,
At the light! At the light!
Do you wanna watch me die?

Let me be something good,
Let me prove something real like I should,
Let me embrace every single living thing,
Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood.
