  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah

    Your revolution is a silly idea, yeah
    All your friends are feeling sad
    It's like you need a reason to be feeling bad, yeah
    You sport an armband when you're good and mad, yeah

    La la la la, Revolution
    (The future never happened)
    La la la la, Revolution

    I don't know why I'm feeling bad, yeah
    I picked up a bad vibration
    Oliver North is running for senate
    Bomb the abortion clinic
    Reagan's defense is the deficit
    The virus was invented
    Black man can't get acquitted
    Of the crimes that we committed
    The future never happened, it never happened

    La la la la, Revolution
    (The future never happened)
    La la la la, I picked up a bad vibration

    Your revolution is a silly idea, yeah
    You tried to look like a punk rock girl
    A whole lotta sneer, and little curl
    But I don't have time for your theatrics
    Everybody knows that you're a bad actress
    We've been sorry for way too long, yeah
    The scum is rising
    Yeah

    La la la la, Revolution
    (The future never happened)
    La la la la, Revolution

    La la la la, Revolution
    (The future never happened)
    La la la la, Revolution, yeah Writer/s: ANDREW PETER MILLER, JONATHAN JASON GREEN, JUSTINE BERRY, PAAL AUDUN HEGLAND, STUART DRUMMOND MACMILLAN

  • Matthew from Milford, MaOkay, I just submitted lyrics for the finished version, from In Time: The Best of R.E.M. This is the full version of the song, with all the lyrics. And, it sounds good!
  • Paul from Redditch, EnglandThey performed this song at several shows on the "monster tour" and I was very disappointed that it didn't make the New Adventures... album. See the bootleg album "Aural Pleasure" for the full Milton Keynes concert.
