(Verse 1)
I’m walking by myself just before the night
I’m seeing signs, one to my left, and four to my right
They’re telling me STOP, but I always seem to go
I’m gonna tell y’all my friends, I’ll see you down the road

(Chorus 1)
Singing hip, hip, hip hooray
For your side and my side today
Singing hip, hip, hip, hooray
For your side and my side today

(Verse 2)
You see the water rising up in them streets?
Children playing and they’re carrying beats
Well this town it ain't my town no more
You see I got to leave, before they lock and they shut my door

(Chorus 2)
Singing hip, hip, hip hooray
For your side and my side today
Singing hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hooray
For your side and my side today

(Bridge)
So grab your flag and grab your jeans
This is the revolution speaking, follow me…follow me
Grab your flag and grab your jeans
This is the revolution speaking, follow me…follow me
Singing bye bye baby, leave it all behind
Singing bye bye baby, leave it all behind
Singing bye bye baby, got to leave it all behind
Singing bye bye baby, won't you, won't you come on and leave it behind
(Verse 3)
You see the water rising up in them streets?
Children playing and they’re carrying beats
Carry em on
Carry em on
Carry em on down
Tell me where you left the beats. I got to go there
Carry em on
Carry em on
And start up the Revolution!
