Devolution Revolution (Lyrics)

[Intro – 16 measures]

VERSE 1
what will you take
what have you heard
how have you been
tell me the word
is the money there
have you been purged
has your refund been returned
are your nights undisturbed
i can feel you there on the verge
from the part to the whole
we can take control
with rock n roll
we can take control

BRIDGE 1
follow the rule to survive
break the rule to thrive
follow the rule to survive
break the rule to thrive

CHORUS 1

its evolution baby
let’s kill the disease
its devolution baby
we can do as we please

VERSE 2
where will you go
what will you do
is the world even ready
ready for you
it’s the system we’ve got
let’s make it work
the power is yours
its been transferred
i cannot wait for what will emerge
we’re in control
we’ll use rock n roll
from the parts to the whole
lets take control
we’ll use rock and roll
to take control
