about

When the revolution comes. I'm not hoping for a violent revolution.

lyrics

In These Dark Days


In these dark days
In these days when the winter grows chill
The banker asks you for another few dollars
You don’t have a dollar in your till
You’re doing all you can to keep yourself going
But you’re not sure if you will
In these dark days
In these dark days

In these dark days
There are days when you see the sun shine
With the clouds all missing the thermometer drops
Til it almost hits the zero line
It feels like hope was sucked out with the heat
Til you think that now is the time
For these dark days
In these dark days

Chorus:
I thought I heard someone whisper revolution
It seems like a good day to die
I thought I heard footsteps runnin’ to the street
I thought I heard a baby cry
In these dark days
In these dark days

In these dark days
The poor are poor as they’ve ever been
The rich get richer like they always have done
It doesn’t seem like that’s gonna end
If speech is money, and they’ve got the money
You can’t even get in a word
In these dark days
They sure are dark days

In these dark days
All the bourgeoisie can pretend
That life is pretty good cause life is pretty good
If your part of the stick isn’t sharpened
If you don’t care about the rest of your tribe
Can you expect them to care about you?
In these dark days
In these dark days

Chorus:

In these dark days
I’ve never been to this place before
It seems like a place I read about in a book
It was a place I just couldn’t ignore
There were kings, there were people
Bein’ pushed by the kings until the people couldn’t take it anymore
Those were dark days
Like these dark days

In these dark days
I’ve been waking in the night from bad dreams
Of guillotines and heads that are rollin’ in the streets
I hear the echoes of desperate screams
If you don’t care about your fellow man
Can you expect them to care about you?
In these dark days
In these dark days

Chorus:
I thought I heard someone whisper revolution
It seems like a good day to die
I thought I heard footsteps runnin’ to the street
I thought I heard a baby cry

I heard someone say let them have a little cake
They didn’t think anybody would hear
Now they’re staring at the ground beneath a guillotine blade
Their body drenched in sweat from their fear

Tell me who’s going to light that match
Who’s going to watch it burn
No more standing with your hands in your pockets
Baby maybe now it’s your turn

In these dark days
In these dark days
In these dark days
In these dark days

In these dark days
In these dark days
In these dark days


In these dark days X 2
