The Revolution's Over

Heard the Rolling Stones on TV. Thought, "Yeah, stick it to the man!" But it was a credit card commercial. Then heard "The Times They Are A-Changing.' Right on! But it was an insurance commerical. Then I saw Dylan in the lingerie commerical. That did it.

The revolution’s over now; Lay down my old guitar
The Rolling Stones couldn’t get no satisfaction
So they’re hawking credit cards, cards
They’re hawking credit cards

The revolution’s over now but we’re still 8 miles high
Imagine more possessions now
It’s easy if you buy, buy
It’s easy if you buy

Oh deep in my heart I do believe Down by the riverside
You say you want a revolution
In your heart this time, time
In your heart this time

The culture war is long since won but who knows at what cost?
And while we’re toasting our champagne
I wonder what was lost, lost
I wonder what was lost

The revolution’s over now; can’t you read the signs?
The generation lost in space
Kinda wasted my precious time, time
Kinda wasted my precious time

Oh deep in my heart I do believe Down by the riverside
You say you want a revolution
In your heart this time, time
In your heart this time

The revolution’s over now; almost cut my hair
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
But Dylan’s selling underwear, wear
Dylan’s selling underwear
