Revolution Radio
Green Day Lyrics

Scream, with your hands up in the sky
Express yourself loudly and boldly, as if you're testifying in court

Like you want to testify
Show your passion and commitment to your belief, like a witness in court

For the life that's been deleted
Advocate for those who have been marginalized or oppressed in society

Sing, like a rebel's lullaby
Sing with the purpose of inspiring a rebellion against the status quo

Under the stars and stripes
In the context of the United States flag, represent and embody the ideals of freedom, equality, and justice

For the lost souls that were cheated
Remember and honor those who were taken advantage of or treated unfairly

We will be seen but not be heard
Express ourselves and our beliefs without making a lot of noise or needing to speak up

We are revolution radio
We are a force for change and transformation in society, like a radio station that spreads a message to the masses

Operation 'no control'
We are taking a stand against those in power who try to control us or limit our freedom

And the headline 'my love's bullet proof'
Our passion and commitment to our cause is unshakeable and will withstand any obstacles or opposition

Give me cherry bombs and gasoline
We need explosive energy and fuel to power our movement

Debutantes in surgery
Even the elite and privileged individuals need to undergo a transformation to align with our cause

And the headline 'legalize the truth'
We are fighting against lies and misinformation, and advocating for the truth to be recognized and accepted

Give me rage, like there's teargas in the crowd
We need to channel our anger and frustration into action, as if we're being attacked by teargas at a protest

Do you wanna live out loud?
Do you want to be bold and unapologetic in living your life and pursuing your beliefs?

But the air is barely breathing
The atmosphere of fear and oppression in society is stifling our ability to live freely

Rise, of the slums to the obsolete
Those who have been historically oppressed or overlooked are rising up to demand their rights and dignity

The dawn of the new airwaves for the anti-social media
We are ushering in a new era of communication and community-building outside of traditional social media platforms

We are the songs of the disturbed
Our message and energy is coming from those who have been affected by societal injustices and are determined to make a change
