PEACEFUL REVOLUTION written by Sheldon Manoo (2001)

Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Start a revolution!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Full pledge retribution!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Find a resolution!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Re-habilitation!)

Hey youth and young at heart

We all must play our part

For all who hear and never listen

And all who know but always missing

  We can’t stand this situation

  Crime, Mistrust, War, Disease

  We’d file an injunction

  To set our weary souls at ease

This better world we’re building

For all of Time’s children

It takes every generation

To abide in co-operation

  Let the spirit of unity come

  Gather us at the sun

  To overthrow the rulers of evil deeds

  We shouldn’t be denied our basic needs, so

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Start a reconstruction!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Internal renovation!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (We got a revelation!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Re-patriation!)  YEAH!

                         (SOLO)

For too long we’ve taken this

This unfiltered air

(Without questioning their dictated authority)

They been stuffing our heads

With manifested ludicrously

(And their wicked outreach’s too much for Cree)

But we just shall not

Be disillusioned

(By these forces of crass intelligence)

We the people join

Stand strong together

(Carry out a peaceful revolution)      I say

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Karmic retaliation!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Strong ramifications!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Our last hope solution!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (And after a celebration!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Start a revolution!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Full pledge retribution!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Find a resolution!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Re-habilitation!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Start a reconstruction!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Internal renovation!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (We got a revelation!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Re-patriation!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Karmic retaliation!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Strong ramifications!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (Our last hope solution!)

            Hey YOU! What cha gonna do?

            Let’s start a revolution! (And after a celebration!)

            Of Life!
