Revolt
Loudspeaker Alliance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna get me a gun,
I'm gonna get me a gun,
I'm gonna get me a gun
to shoot the bastards

They should never breathe,
They should never breathe,
They should never breathe,
not after all they did.

We're gonna take it,
We're gonna take it,
We're gonna take it now...

Are you walking with us,
Are you walking with us,
Are you walking with us
or you're just following?

We're gaining up on speed,
We're gaining up on speed,
We're gaining up on speed,
freedom being everything.

We're gonna take it,
We're gonna take it,
We're gonna take it now...

When enough, when enough,
when enough is enough,
that's when one becomes radical

When they shout, when they shout,
when they shout and scream,
that's when it's set to win

You want it, so take it now, again!

I used to dream, I used to dream,
I used to dream nice things,
not just memories

It's enough, it's enough,
it's enough right now
but I'm not radical





I want it, I'll take it now, again!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Revolt" by Loudspeaker Alliance suggest that the speaker has had enough of something or someone and is ready to take action against them. The repetition of "I'm gonna get me a gun" and "They should never breathe" emphasizes the intensity of the speaker's frustration and their willingness to take drastic measures. The chorus, "We're gonna take it now," reflects the urgency and determination to take back control.


The lyrics also invite the listener to join the revolt by asking, "Are you walking with us or you're just following?" This creates a sense of unity and empowers the listener to take a stand alongside the speaker. The line "When enough is enough, that's when one becomes radical" suggests that the speaker has reached a breaking point and is no longer willing to accept the status quo.
