lyrics version 1
The word is revolution
But no one’s fired the shot
Each side has its battle plans
A million counterplots
And the world is closely watching
As we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
The water is polluted
And the air is filled with death
And some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
It’s all in Revelations
It’s part of the design
And if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah [x2]
I marched for peace in Washington
And things were getting hot
Mmm mmm, I gave blood in Chicago
Went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked to Toronto
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down this song to you
To sing and pass along to you
And if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
A bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

A bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Peace and pollution

And the air is filled with death
And some day it won’t be easy

The water is polluted
The air is filled with death
Some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
But it’s all in Revelations
I guess it’s part of the design
So if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
Ah la la la la la la la la la [x2]
Well I marched for peace in Washington
When things were getting hot
I gave blood in Chicago
I went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked out to Woodstock
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down this song to you
To sing and pass along to you
If you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
Ah la la la la la la la la la
They say revolution
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
They say peace, I only see pollution
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
Here come the tribulation
La la la la la la la la la la
Here comes the persecution
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
If you think it's not happening in your country
Then wait 'til it happens to you
The world is coming down to a different road
Than it planned
We're gonna stand beside Jesus
He gonna lead us to another land
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
Ah la la tell me, tell me, tell me over and over again my friend
That you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
But no one’s fired the shot
Every side has battle plans
With details, counterplots
And the world is closely watching
As we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
The water is polluted
The air is filled with death
Some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
But it’s all in Revelations
I guess it’s part of the design
So if you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
Ah la la la la la la la la la [x2]
Well I marched for peace in Washington
When things were getting hot
I gave blood in Chicago
I went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked out to Woodstock
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down this song to you
To sing and pass along to you
If you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
Ah la la la la la la la la la
They say revolution
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
They say peace, I only see pollution
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
Here come the tribulation
La la la la la la la la la la
Here comes the persecution
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
If you think it's not happening in your country
Then wait 'til it happens to you
The world is coming down to a different road
Than it planned
We're gonna stand beside Jesus
He gonna lead us to another land
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
Ah la la la la la la la la la la
Ah la la tell me, tell me, tell me over and over again my friend
That you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
lyrics version 11
The word is revolution
But no one’s fired the shot
Each side has its battle plans
With detailed counterplots
The world is closely watching
As we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise
You keep your eyes on Palestine
The water is polluted
The air is filled with death
Some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
It’s all in Revelation
It’s all part of the design
If you’re truly wise
You keep your eyes on Palestine
A-la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I marched for peace in Washington
And things were getting hot
I gave blood in Chicago
I went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked out to Woodstock
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down these songs to you
To sing and pass along to you
If you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
A-la la la la la na la la la la
A-revolution
A-la la la la la la la la la la
Peace or pollution
A-la la la la la la la la la la
Revelation
A-la la la la la la la la la
A final dispensation
A-la la la la la la la la la la la
Van Morrison
Would sing it like that [Spoken]
La la la la la la la la
But no one’s fired the shot
Each side has its battle plans
With detailed counterplots
The world is closely watching
As we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise
You keep your eyes on Palestine
The water is polluted
The air is filled with death
Some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
It’s all in Revelation
It’s all part of the design
If you’re truly wise
You keep your eyes on Palestine
A-la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I marched for peace in Washington
And things were getting hot
I gave blood in Chicago
I went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked out to Woodstock
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down these songs to you
To sing and pass along to you
If you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
A-la la la la la na la la la la
A-revolution
A-la la la la la la la la la la
Peace or pollution
A-la la la la la la la la la la
Revelation
A-la la la la la la la la la
A final dispensation
A-la la la la la la la la la la la
