about

A song for all those good people out there... all the singers, writers, poets, painters, thinkers, speakers, bloggers, sharers, petition signers, ranters, ravers, smalltime promoters, organisers, fund-raisers, charity workers...all those people who CAN be bothered. Too easy to be swept away by the tide in a world of crooked cynics, but you CAN make a difference. Who knows the impact of their own actions on others? Who knows what they might start by trying?

lyrics

I've been banging my head against a brick wall all day
And what's left of my soul is slowly wasting away
But I ain't gonna die here, alone in the gloom
I'm gonna start a revolution in an empty room

I'm gonna sing out
Too-ra-la-la yeah
Too-ra-la-lay
Put your best foot forward, brother
Come what may
There maybe only me and my shadow
In the light of the moon
But I can start a revolution in an empty room

But it don't mean nothing
Unless you shout it out loud
To four corners of silence
Or the cries of the crowd
You see we know something's wrong here
Yet we all just assume
We can't start a revolution in an empty room

But we're wrong now
Too-ra-la-la yeah
Too-ra-la-lay
Put your best foot forward, brother
Come what may
There maybe only you and your shadow
In the light of the moon
But you can start a revolution in an empty room
