Outside A Revolution – Inside The Same
(Johan Bengtsson)
Thay say we’ve come to this by evolution
The human race is the final conclusion
Scientists have come up with this solution
But I am waiting for the revolution
‘Cause everybody says we’re so variated
All opinions differ, that’s demonstrated
It’s rubbish, totally brain-dead
I feel society today is carbonated
It’s so obvious when you look at it
From an objective view
Nothing’s ever going to change
If all we’re gonna do
Is to change the way we look
And change our names
I say; Outside a revolution
Inside the same!
They say it when they meet “You look wonderful today”
Which means they all are trapped into the media’s campaign
And somewhere inside me, I don’t wanna stay
When all they gonna talk is how their looks have changed
And it’s there every evening on television
And sent into my inbox without my permission
And suddenly I’ve come all the way to decision
To change this behaviour is the obvious mission!
It’s so obvious when you look at it
From an objective view
Nothing’s ever going to change
If all we’re gonna do
Is to change
The way we look and change our names
I say; Outside a revolution
Inside the same!
It’s so obvious when you look at it
From an objective view
Nothing’s ever going to change
If all we’re gonna do
Is to change the way we look
And change our names
I say; Outside a revolution
Inside the same!
Actually, I think it’s the same with alcohole and drugs
It’s just being part of a group that is what we’re looking for
Then, if it’s about drugs or music or art, doesn’t matter very much
It’s a behavioural pattern, which I think we could defy
First throw away all your self-expectations
Second; make a revolution inside!
It becomes obvious when you look at it
From an objective view
Nothing’s ever going to change
If all we’re gonna do
Is to change the way we look
And change our names
I say; Outside a revolution
Inside the same!
Outside a revolution
But inside just the same!
Outside a revolution
But inside just the same!
