Feature song lyrics "Revolution of Minds"

 Going back to the past again for these featured song lyrics. If I remember correctly, I had just heard a story on the news about eating too much peanut butter can cause cancer. I do remember thinking to myself, the next you know they are going to tell us breathing is bad for us. Partly being a teenager and partly just tired of hearing that everything is bad for us. So in my teenage frustration, these words came to mind. When my friend and I put the music to these words we disagreed on how it should be done. I felt like it was a rock/upbeat preachy song. She felt like it should be a ballad. After asking other musician friends, we went with the rock song. These lyrics can also be found on the "Out of the Box" Song Lyrics page.

Revolution of Minds

We revolt not against the government in which we live

We revolt not against the churches to which money we give

We revolt against the minds which will not let us live

(chorus)

The time has come for us to see, the true act of being free

We cannot let our minds be ruled, for we are only being fooled

It’s our turn to make the find, it’s our revolution of minds

They tell us life is over and we’ll soon be dead

But it’s only the funny wheels going round in their heads

They should turn out the lights and go to bed

(chorus)

The time has come for us to see, the true act of being free

We cannot let our minds be ruled, for we are only being fooled

It’s our turn to make the find, it’s our revolution of minds

People run in panic, believe every word they say

But I’m staying home for the rest of the day

I refuse to listen to their theory, and I’ll go my way

Lyrics by Michelle Gallardo 1982

Music by John Heuring and Tama Moritz, October 1984
