10-bar intro
Verse 1:
They come and they take.
It's never enough because they can't relate
To the real world, thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl.
They start those wars.
They want to own the land, sea and all the stars
And right those wrongs.
They change their history with their poison forked tongues.
All right, who's they?
A, maybe it's the government of today
Or B for the big business man
Who thinks the whole world, yeah, revolves around him
Or C for the corrupt official; for A and B he be the man in the middle
Or D for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers.
Pre-chorus:
Doesn't mean I ain't gonna stop now just because I don't got a gun.
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon.
Just like my Martin and Mahatma, I'm gonna love, I'm gonna overcome.
Maybe, it's E for all of the above, but I don't want to be
Chorus:
Wrong way going down the one way road.
Wrong way going down the one way road.
Wrong way going down the one way road.
Gonna turn it all around, gonna back it on up.
Wrong way going down the one way road
Wrong way going down the one way road.
Wrong way going down the one way road.
Gonna turn it all around, gonna back it on up.
Verse 2:
These men who they say we should follow,
But we can't follow men if their hearts are hollow and
Mmmm yes, who gon' respect puppet regimes we do not elect?
Straight up, straight up, staight up like Pinocchio
And every time they lie, man, the fire just grows
So now's time to be a part of the solution.
Raise your hand if you believe in revolution.
Repeat pre-chorus
Bridge:
Livin' in a pantomime, livin' in a fantasy, oh.
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be .
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be, no.
Livin' in a pantomime, livin' in a fantasy, oh.
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be.
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be, no.
