I guess there's nothing particularly solarpunk-y about this track, but... I just thought it was rocking enough to share.

Almost 40 years later and it all still rings true.

LYRICS

I shot a gun today

For the first time

I was surprised at how Easy it was

And man it made me feel so powerful

I think I'm ready to start a revolution

.

We got elections coming up

I don’t know who I wanna pick

A criminal or a racist pig

It's the same damn thing every couple years

I think it's time to overthrow the government

.

So I was getting myself ready for the revolution

Getting myself ready for the revolution

’til I remembered I have work in the morning

The revolution will have to wait 'til after 5 PM I guess

.

Spent the summer on the road

Driving through the desert and mountains, sleeping on

Floors and couches

Whoever said you needed money to travel

Didn't have many friends

Now I'm back in Pennsylvania

Sleeping until 11 AM

My friends they call me lazy, they just don't get it

I'm dreaming up my plan for the revolution

.

So I've been getting myself ready for the cold cold winter

Getting myself ready for the cold cold winter

Forgot to stop and watch the leaves change colors

Watch them all fall down

I shot a gun today, was surprised at how easy it was

I think I'm gonna ask for one for Christmas

Either that or a new guitar

LYRICS

[Verse 1]

When it's bigger than us

When it's larger than life

At least at first

Did you think, did you know

That you're heading for bust

Before shit gets old

[Pre Chorus]

And it work (work)

When it work (work)

Someone's got to tell it

When the dumb things hurt

When it work (work)

Then it work (work)

Someone's got to call it

Before it hit the hearse

[Chorus]

So with time, work, we can make it

If we're fighting for the same thing

And with love, we can make it

If we're fighting for the same thing

[Verse 2]

Won't ever tear us apart

Promised you as you tamed this heart

Untold control

By nothing wrong, then a worry starts

Saying you, you

Make this home shine electrical for two

Who knew, who knew

We'd be challenged by the consequence

Of what we wouldn't do

[Chorus]

But with time, work, we can make it

If we're fighting for the same thing

And some love won't hurt

If we're fighting for the same thing

Yeah, oh, ow!

If we're fighting for the same thing

And some love, it can't hurt

If we're fighting for the same thing

[Bridge]

Gimme some love

You got to gimme some love

Don't you pretend

When it's all a vow

Show me some love

You got to show me some love

We can't pretend

When it's all a vow

Throw me some love

Now won't you throw me some love?

We can't pretend

When it's all a vow

Give me some love

Now won't you show me some love?

We can't pretend anymore

[Chorus]

'Cause with time, work, we can make it

If we're fighting for the same thing

And some love won't hurt

If we're fighting for the same thing

Yeah, oh, ow!

If we're fighting for the same thing

We can make it, gonna make it

If we're fighting for the same thing

[Outro]

Fighting for the same thing

Fighting for the same thing
