Lyrics
I didn't take a drink today,
I chose not to consume alcohol today.
I didn't smoke nothing today
I refrained from using any tobacco or substances today.
I didn't get in a car today,
I avoided driving a car today and opted to ride my bike on the freeway.
I rode my bike on the freeway
I rode my bike on the freeway instead of using a car.
I'm not your savior today,
I am not playing the role of a savior today.
I'm not your lover today
I am not engaging in romantic or intimate relationships today.
I'm not your object today,
I am not an object for others' use or manipulation today.
I'm your brother today
Today, I embrace the role of being your brother.
Revolution
Emphasis on the concept of revolution or significant change.
I didn't pay no rent today, just so I could lie on the ground
I chose not to pay rent today, opting to lie on the ground instead.
I went and picked a house out,
I selected a house and forcefully entered by kicking the door down.
I kicked the door down
Action of breaking into a house, possibly symbolizing rebellion.
I didn't shoot no dope today, just put on my guitar and play
I refrained from using drugs and instead played the guitar.
I get on my knees and pray, that we're gonna find a way
I express hope through prayer that a solution will be found.
Revolution
Reiteration of the theme of revolution and change.
I don't need to kill anyone, 'cause it's all in my head, do I believe
No inclination to harm others physically; conflicts are internal.
And abide by the rules of property
Contemplation on adherence to property rules and societal norms.
Do I submit myself to the never ending wage slavery
Reflection on the possibility of being trapped in perpetual wage slavery.
I don't need to kill anyone, 'cause it's all in my head, do I believe
Reiteration of the internal struggle, emphasizing non-violence.
That the women and the children, and the animals, the skies and the seas, are my property
Recognition that all living things and elements are interconnected.
I don't need to kill anyone, 'cause it's all in my head, do I believe
Reiteration of the internal struggle, questioning personal beliefs.
That to get through the today I need nicotine, I need caffeine, I need speed Evolve, love
Acknowledgment of dependencies on substances for coping; the call to evolve and love.
