How to Start a Revolution
Unleashing Rebellion: A Garden Shed Manifesto
Lyrics
I made myself an institution
I established myself as a significant entity or organization.
From all the books I read
By drawing knowledge from various books, I built my foundation.
How to start a revolution
I learned the principles of initiating a revolution.
From the bottom of a garden shed
Starting from humble beginnings, like a shed in a garden.
See I've been thinking I could play your game
I contemplate engaging in your tactics or strategy.
I'll maybe colour my hair
Considering changes, perhaps altering my appearance.
I've been thinking I should change my name
Reflecting on adopting a new identity or persona.
I'll be your puppet, I sing because I love it
I am willing to conform and be controlled, singing out of love.
Before we propel toward this rush
Before we rush into this endeavor,
For me to seal and sign
I need to officially endorse and confirm my commitment.
I think I should tell you
It's important for me to communicate that I may change my stance.
I reserve the right to change my mind
I retain the right to reconsider my decisions.
See I've been thinking about the rules again
Contemplating the fairness and relevance of established rules.
And I do not think it's fair
Expressing a belief that certain rules are unjust.
So tie me down and take my name
Accepting restrictions and losing personal identity for a cause.
I'll rise above it, I sing because I love it
Overcoming challenges through singing, driven by passion.
If I could be Fidel Castro
Imagining being a figure like Fidel Castro.
I would thank my lucky star
Expressing gratitude for fortunate circumstances.
I'd have a mojito and light my Cohiba cigar.
Envisioning enjoying a drink and a cigar in a relaxed state.
I'd be thinking 'bout the USA
Reflecting on the United States and its actions.
Maybe Guantanamo Bay
Considering controversial places like Guantanamo Bay.
Hey now FBI and CIA
Mentioning intelligence agencies like the FBI and CIA.
Get the president on speed dial
Suggesting a direct line of communication with the president.
Here's my Cuban missile.
Offering a metaphorical Cuban missile in the form of a message.
Tie me down but I won't give in
Despite challenges or restraints, I won't yield or surrender.
Tie me down but I won't give in
Remaining resilient and steadfast in the face of adversity.
