lyrics

taking babies from their mothers' arms
kept in cages in an old walmart
i think that's how revolutions start
and it's summer so far

he says the press is the enemy
of all america apparently
one man takes him literally
and five souls move on
and its summer so far

hey, women, listen now
one more vote on the highest court
and your body won't be your own no more
i think that's how revolutions start
and it's summer so far
it's summer so far

sisters, brothers, gather round
raise your fist or kneel down
it's not right to get shot down
just because you're black or brown
that's how revolutions start
and it's summer so far

hey, students, show us how
to be an angel gabriel
lead the way to glory now
that's how revolutions start
and it's summer so far
it's summer so far
