MY LATEST CONTRIBUTION IS A MUSICAL ONE
A song dedicated to the simple reality that revolution occurs in nature 100% of the time when conditions become sufficiently oppressive.
“SHAKE IT UP”
If you’re going out tonight and you’re tired of being quiet
shake it up
If you don’t like what ya hearin’ and you wanna start a riot
shake it up
Go ahead and light a fire when the flames get higher
Don’t ya listen if they start to ball
Cause ya know revolution’s the traditional solution
remember it’s their own damn fault
They’ve been lyin’ and cheatin’ till you feel like you’ve been beaten”
Shake it up
When they promise you the moon then they sing a different tune
Shake it up
They like it stirred not shaken but everything is taken
and that doesn’t leave much for you
I won’t sit in an ivory tower
Won’t hide in the dark and cower
take it to the streets till we’re runnin free
Were gonna have a full on mutiny
Fight on, till the castle falls
cause some turbulence when duty calls
gonna raise hell if it takes all hour
cause when you speak truth to power
ya shake it on up
Seems like nothing ever happens till we’re talking tough
shake it up
I can’t help thinkin’ deep inside they like it rough
shake it up
They never seem to learn and that’s why we gotta burn em
whatever history might bring
Friendly persuasion is only effective
Once ya get their attention with the with the real thing
I won’t sit in an ivory tower
Won’t hide in the dark and cower
take it to the streets till we’re runnin free
Were gonna have a full on mutiny
Fight on, till the castle falls
cause some turbulence when duty calls
gonna raise hell if it takes all hour
cause when you speak truth to power
ya shake it on up
