about

Revolution is a Jimi Hendrix / Family Stand inspired track written in the early 90s for Love Machine, a NYC drum & bass duo I played in at the nuevo artsy Bell Café in west Soho. The song offers social commentary on incarceration and war, and how love and peace is the answer. That’s the revolution I’m interested in... a love revolution! The song is driven by horns and guitars, the melodies punctuate the anthem, “You Know that it is Time for Lovin’ Everywhere; You Know that it is Time for Love and Peace”.

lyrics

Revolution - 4:56
by Michael Wimberly and Laurence Goldman

In the midst of a revolution
We’re In the midst of a revolution
In the middle of a revolution

In the midst of a revolution
We’re In the midst of a revolution
In the middle of a revolution

Everybody to arms – come on
Protect yourself from political genocide Or else we’re all gonna die

In the midst of a revolution
We’re In the midst of a revolution
In the middle of a revolution

Stop putting us in the institutions
Gonna ‘cause a revolution – (aw) wait a minute
Make love not war
that’s what I’m on the planet for
On the planet for

Don’t bring me no guns - nah we don’t need ‘em
This is a love war One on one One on one

In the midst of a revolution
We’re In the midst of a revolution
In the middle of a revolution
(organ solo)

In the midst of a revolution
We’re In the midst of a revolution
In the middle of a revolution

(Uh) Here we go again
Genocide on earth when will it end
Peace be released Deflect the racist beast Deflect the racist Deflect the racist
Get up Stand up Make love not war
Peace in the house Love forever more Love forever more
Love forever more

You know that it is time for lovin’ everywhere
You know that it is time for love and peace
You know that it is time for lovin’ everywhere
You know that it is time for love and peace

You know that it is time for lovin’ everywhere
You know that it is time for love and peace
You know that it is time for lovin’ everywhere
You know that it is time for love and peace
(guitar solo)

You know that it is time for lovin’ everywhere
You know that it is time for love and peace
You know that it is time for lovin’ everywhere
You know that it is time for love and peace

You know that it is time for lovin’ everywhere
You know that it is time for love and peace
You know that it is time for lovin’ everywhere
You know that it is time for love and peace

I know it’s time... take a look around it’s time for love and peace
