REVELATION
I was waitin' at a railway station
When I had a little revelation
That we sure could use salvation
'Cause everything we do is wrong
Then the train come a-rollin' thunder
And I (did to myself wonder)?
I just rolled up a little number
And wrote this weary song
As long as the temperature's risin'
As long as the bullets are flyin'
As long as the trash is pilin'
We might as well get stoned
As long as the backs are turnin'
And the lessons go unlearnin'
As long as the fire is burnin'
We might as well get stoned
I have made a revelation
That it's too late for salvation
Go on and lock the gates of heaven
I guess we might as well get stoned
As long as the river's poison
And the ice floe's never frozen
As long as they keep bulldozin'
We might as well get stoned
As long as the banks are stealin'
And the centrifuge keeps wheelin'
As long as the arms are dealin'
We might as well get stoned
I have made a revelation
That it's too late for salvation
Go on and lock the gates of heaven
I guess we might as well get stoned
As long as the oil is flowin'
And the pipeline keeps on growin'
As long as the smokestack's blowin'
We might as well get stoned
As long as books are bindin'
With fundamentalist writin'
As long as faith is blindin'
We might as well get stoned
As long as the newsreel's rollin'
And the Wall Street bell is tollin'
As long as wealth is stolen
We might as well get stoned
I have made a revelation
That it's too late for salvation
Go on and lock the gates of heaven
I guess we might as well get stoned
And I know the day is comin'
The drums of war will be drummin'
But all the while we'll keep strummin'
As they cut us to the bone |

@ Kitty I see where you're going with that. It's got a really deep message. Get high! |

I would say you're missing the point, then. |

Also see: Bob Dylan's Rainy Day Women #12 and #25 (I'll be thrilled if I got those numbers right from memory) |

Ooooh, so close. Now be honest, Chigger, did you know off the top of your brain or was there some googling involved? |

Nah, I knew it. I'm not a big Dylan fan, but that's one of my favorites. |

Chigger, whistle was accounting for deflation in these tough economic times. It is actually "Rainy Day Women #8 and #25" at this point. |

Although I do understand now that it just doesn't fit with this album... "Warden", on the other hand, would have fit well. |
