Raise the Banners

You may be tired of waiting, you may be long for sleep
but a new day is dawning just over the hill
I know the cause has been a little stagnant
and you’ve got better things to do
but revolution’s calling to you

We’re calling all the romantics and all their lovers too
and the ones who lost it somewhere just over the hill
Scour the hotel bars and scavenge every room
it’s gonna be all hands on deck by the time we’re through

It may not be the change we need, but it’ll do just fine
So, gather up your rifles and let out your battles cries
it’s the day you’ve been waiting for all your life
It’s been a long time coming but it’s finally arrived
raise the banners for the grand revolution of Lakeside

When the dust has settled come to the other side of the field
you’ll find us with a smile just over the hill
We’ll probably be hanging from some ancient tree
our revolution swaying in the breeze

It was never about winning or changing all the world
just to add a little color over the hill
Go and tell the adversaries mounting their attack
tell 'em that once our story’s out there there’s no getting it back.
