Heartless Bastards - Revolution

“Revolution" - new track from Heartless Bastards with a portion of proceeds from all Bandcamp downloads to be donated to the ACLU in support of civil rights.
LYRICS:
Where you going my friend
Have you forgotten when
There was a time filled with hope instead of fear that’s in your heart
There was a time when life was simple and innocent to start
do you remember, do you remember
Where you going my friend
Have you forgotten when
there was a time when false information wasn’t so rampant in the sphere
A time when you weren’t questioning everything you hear
Do you remember do you remember
Constantly being advertised a life commercialized and disguised as happiness in pills and potions fancy threads and cars in motion
Hypnotized by gilded lies to line the pockets of so few
While hungry politicians feed bullshit to the masses
To ensure their statuses and further divide the classes
You were born with a voice so open up and speak your mind
Raise consciousness and elevate how we all relate don’t hesitate
No need to be better or smarter than anybody else
Leave judgement at the door for others and yourself
The revolution is in your mind x 4
Big Brothers watching you and trying to sell you something new
And I just want to take away take away the blues
Big brother is watching you and trying to sell you something new
And I just want to take away take away the blues
The revolution is in your mind x 4
Revolution x 4
When I get up, I get up in the morning
All I really want is the truth
When I open my eyes and I get up in the morning
All I really need is the truth
You were born with a voice so open up and speak your mind
Raise consciousness and elevate how we all relate don’t hesitate
No need to be better or smarter than anybody else
Leave judgement at the door for others and yourself
The revolution is in your mind x 4
When I get up, I get up in the morning
All I really want is the truth
When I open my eyes and I get up in the morning
All I really need is the truth
Revolution x 4

[@_Outdoor_Odyssey_]

Man This song hits so hard in 2020 2:34 - 2:55 gives me the chills... “ Big brothers watching you and trying to sell you something new, and I just wanna take away, take away the blues” This whole song just makes me want to start speaking my mind and change the world in the hopes that humanity grows to be a wiser species. Even before I heard this fantastic music I felt like a revolution was brewing, as covid swept the globe, false information spreading like wildfire and riots in the states, and all the other chaos happening in 2020 . 2020 may suck in a lot of ways but perhaps it will become a necessary chapter in history when mankind learns to persevere through challenging times...

[@juliocesarserranocortes4157]

How incredible, my heart felt as if I were missing what I was before when there is no such fear in me ... now there is a revolution in my mind and I am afraid and at the same time courage to continue to re-evolve my mind.

[@meyerweinstock9567]

Sounds like Alan Watts meets The Cult. (No apologies for my dated references.) This is a great tune.
