I flip the switch on my laser video
And there s the man staring back at me
He starts to speak in a voice so righteous
About the sins of society

He s got answers to all my problems
Says he ll decide what I should hear and see
I try to change to another station
But all I get is more of his morality
And morality, yeah

But I see the kids of a new generation
And they won t stand for this mind control
They re gonna change this world we live in
They re gonna bring back the rock and roll

So if I can, I m gonna break from this prison
Gonna get out and join in the fight
Take a chance on what I believe in
Win or lose, I know it s right

Cause it s high time
For us to start a revolution
High time
Just like an A-bomb explosion
High time
It ain t the music that s in question
High time
It s more the freedom of expression

Change is comin
Mind Police are comin
We re on the move
The Old World is crumblin
A new day s comin
Tell your friends and relations
We re on the move
We re gonna start a rockin nation

High time

High time
We re gonna start a revolution
High time

High time
For us to start a revolution
High time
Just like an A-bomb explosion
High time
It ain t the music that s in question
High time
It s more the freedom of expression

Change is comin
Mind Police are comin
We re on the move
The Old World is crumblin
A new day s comin
Tell your friends and relations
We re on the move
We re gonna start a rockin nation
