      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “It started off as this weird little shuffle thing. We were arguing back and forth in November of ‘05 whether we should have a shuffle on the record. Billy wanted a shuffle. So it became a search for a new way to do a shuffle. We were also listening to Fela, all these 14-minute Nigerian jams and watching documentaries about him. So we went down this road of seeing how power can come from repetition.” Jimmy Chamberlin “In Pumpkins logic, if you’re going to make people wait for six minutes for the payoff, the money shot better be good. Ultimately, this became the musical statement of the album. The drum take is one of Jimmy’s crowning achievements. It’s worth the price of admission. Lyrically, the song reflects the decision I made when we were in Scottsdale to stop watching all network or cable news. I noticed the effect that had on me–I stopped being afraid. In general, I’m not afraid of getting on the stage in front of 60,000 people, so why should I be afraid of a plane crashing into my house? I was trying to wrap my head around the way we’re being force-fed a level of paranoia. It’s a personal reflection on what it all means. The ‘revolution’ in the lyrics isn’t the revolution of picking up a gun. That’s never worked, and it never will work. Jesus was right.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      Tired eyes

      Closed for days

      There’s no regret

      ‘Cause there’s no place

      I don’t know

      What I believe

      But if I feel safe

      What do I need

      A home

      A home

      A home

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      What will they do to me

      Dulcet tongues

      Whisper fast

      The future yearns

      Right now’s the past

      Rouse me soon

      The end draws nigh

      Who’s side are you on?

      Your blood you cannot buy

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do

      Revolution

      Revolution

      Revolution blues

      What will they do to you

      Well I

      I feel alright

      So tonight

      I got to ask you why

      Why deny it

      It’s no surprise

      I’ve got to survive

      Freedom shines the light ahead

      I’ll lead the last charge to bed

      I said my last rights

      I don’t have to run scared no more

      Fight

      I wanna fight

      I wanna fight a revolution

      Tonight

      I wanna fight

      I wanna fight a revolution

      Tonight

      At the light

      At the light

      Do you wanna watch me die

      Let me be something good

      Let me prove something real like I should

      Let me embrace every single living thing

      Let me be every single moment I ever misunderstood

      Lyrics

      The world is a vampire, sent to drain
      Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
      And what do I get, for my pain
      Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      All my cool and cold-like old job
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
      But can you fake it, for just one more show
      And what do you want, I want to change
      And what have you got
      When you feel the same
      Even though I know-i suppose I’ll show
      All my cool and cold-like old job
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      Tell me I’m the only one
      Tell me there’s no other one
      Jesus was an only son
      Tell me I’m the chosen one
      Jesus was an only son for you
      Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
      And I still believe that I cannot be saved

      Additional Info: From Zeitgeist track by track interview: “That’s a sexy song made by two men living in a house alone together for four or five months in Scottsdale. There needed to be some sexiness somewhere.” Jimmy Chamberlin “That song was another one that I brought to Arizona with me. And right away it sounded like ‘95 Pumpkins, like it could have been right off of the Mellon Collie record. I feel sorry for Jimmy because he has to hear me complain about such things. And we went back to what Flood taught us and tried the song some other ways. One day we just changed the beat, and it just made the song.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      They say that life ain’t easy

      They’ll say your life’s a crime

      Destroy up all good reason

      How I’m alive

      They’ll say that nothing matters

      Not even your will to survive

      Of course I love you baby

      ‘Cause I’m alive

      Yes, I’m alive

      Whenever I call you out

      Whenever I draw you round

      Whenever is here and now

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way I care

      You should call on me baby

      I’m always there for you

      Yeah, I’m always there for you

      They’ll say you’ll lose your nerve soon

      To claim identity

      Disgrace our sacred promise

      With no belief

      Oh, how I believe in you

      That’s the way my love is, for you

      That’s the way my love is, for you!

      I feel a coming age now

      I feel a dawn in me

      A certain sun keeps rising

      On my belief in you

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way i care

      You should call on me baby

      ‘Cause I’m always there for you

      That’s the way my love is

      That’s the way I care

      You should call on me baby

      ‘Cause I’m always there for you

      Yeah, I’m always there for you

      Lyrics

      No matter where you are
      I can still hear you when you drown
      You’ve traveled very far
      Just to see you I’ll come around
      When I’m down
      All of those yesterdays
      Coming around
      No matter where you are
      I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, “scream”)
      You traveled very far
      You traveled far, like a star
      And you are
      All of those yesterdays
      Coming around
      Is it something someone said?
      Was it something someone said?
      Yesterday the sky was you
      And I still feel the same
      Nothing left for me to do
      And I still feel the same
      I wish, I wish I could fly
      I wish, I wish I could lie
      I will, I will try
      I will, I will
      Goodbye

      From Zeitgeist track by track interview:

      “This was one of the songs we had earmarked for Roy Thomas Baker to produce. As we later told Roy, we had heard all these stories about him being completely insane which turned out not to be true. He’s one of the most hard-working, aware and brilliant people we’ve ever worked with and we couldn’t wait to hear what he did with that song.” Billy Corgan

      “For me that track is all about Roy–the way he produced, that drum sound. Roy doesn’t produce songs; he produces moments. We were constantly trying our best to put a smile on Roy’s face.” Jimmy Chamberlin

      Lyrics

      Shot down I stood
      Withstood my neighborhood
      I got it wrong
      But I could
      Follow love lest I learn
      It’s light
      To bring the light
      I fought with all my might, with light
      Oh bring the light
      Light, bring the light
      I never felt so good and right
      But tonight you’ll never need another sound
      Oh, bring the light
      Bring the light to me
      Here and gone oh I trust
      You’d spit upon my dust
      And mix my ash with your blood
      A son of god you know you must arrive
      In the light
      Bring the light, let’s bring the light
      Light, oh bring the light
      Light, bring the light
      It’s yours not mine
      If you just want to survive
      Go grab a glimpse of any star in heaven’s high
      I never felt so real and loved and alive
      No shadows follow me unsung
      In the light, bring the light to me
      A flower song, clear and bright
      Is it wrong, in neon white?
      To insist you are mine
      Standing dumb in the light
      Bring the light
      Oh, bring the light
      Bring the light!
      Light, bring the light
      I never felt so real and right and alive
      Don’t let them steal from you what’s yours by right
      Light, bring the light
      You know there comes a place and time
      You can’t deny
      With every movement shadows cast and align
      Bring the light, bring the light
      Bring the light let’s bring the light
      Light, bring the light

      Lyrics

      Time is never time at all

      You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth

      And our lives are forever changed

      We will never be the same

      The more you change the less you feel

      Believe, believe in me, believe

      That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain

      We’re not the same, we’re different tonight

      Tonight, so bright

      Tonight

      And you know you’re never sure

      But you’re sure you could be right

      If you held yourself up to the light

      And the embers never fade in your city by the lake

      The place where you were born

      Believe, believe in me, believe

      In the resolute urgency of now

      And if you believe there’s not a tonight

      Tonight, so bright

      Tonight

      We’ll crucify the insincere tonight

      We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight

      We’ll find a way to offer up the night tonight

      The indescribable moments of your life tonight

      The impossible is possible tonight

      Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

Billy grabbed one and plugged in into his amp and immediately started playing the riff from ‘Tarantula’ and the song was written pretty much on the spot.” Jimmy Chamberlin “That’s our nod to the Scorpions, and UFO--a loving nod to the hard rock bands of that era.” Billy Corgan

      Lyrics

      I don’t want to fight

      Every single night

      Everything I want is in your eyes

      You and me go back

      To places I dont know to care

      The spoils of all I got were left for scraps

      Don’t let me say this

      But you’re no worse than me

      It’s crazy

      We are the real

      If real ever was

      And just because

      We are the real

      They feel we have enough

      We are the real

      ‘Cause someone gave us up

      I want to be there when you’re happy

      I want to love you when you’re sad

      Cant stand the morning rain?

      Get out i’ll take your place then

      Can’t stand the blazing sun?

      Then close your eyes you’ll see

      The angel dust

      I dont want to be

      Anything believed

      A million watts of sound can’t compare

      Come along you’ll see the world

      The pulse ripples, the crowd unfurls

      The current starts to flow and then you’re on

      Oh it’s white hot soul they want

      To sing for

      We are the real

      If real ever was

      And just because

      We are the ruin

      Of every living soul

      We are surreal

      Cause someone gave us up

      Don’t break the oath

      I want to love you when you’re happy

      Don’t break this oath

      I want to be there when youre sad

      Freeze-frame the pouring rain

      We are the real

      As real as any ghost

      So easy now

      We are the real

      In ever living soul

      Oh dont they know?

      Can’t stand the blazing sun?

      Can’t stand the morning rain?

      Oh get out i’ll take your place again

      I dont want to be alone

      I dont want to be alone at all

      If it’s a white hot soul they want

      Then a black heart they’ll get

      Lyrics

      Disarm you with a smile
      And cut you like you want me to
      Cut that little child
      Inside of me and such a part of you
      Ooh, the years burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my choice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      Disarm you with a smile
      And leave you like they left me here
      To wither in denial
      The bitterness of one who’s left alone
      Ooh, the years burn
      Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn
      I used to be a little boy
      So old in my shoes
      And what I choose is my voice
      What’s a boy supposed to do?
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      My love
      I send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you
      The killer in me is the killer in you
      Send this smile over to you

      Lyrics

      If I were alive
      If I were real
      Would you survive
      What would you feel
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      As sentimental as our broken dreams
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die to save your soul
      Let me die, let me die rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their metal machines
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      If I were dead
      Would my records sell
      Could you even tell
      Is it just as well
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      It’s elemental, to all the rust it brings
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die and save my soul
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me die rock and roll

      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their droning schemes
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Will I survive
      Is it up to me
      Could you understand
      That it’s not yours to keep
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

      Lyrics

      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t live for tomorrow,
      Tomorrow’s much too long
      I’ll burn my eyes out
      Before I get out
      I wanted more
      Than life could ever grant me
      Bored by the chore
      Of saving face
      Today is the greatest
      Day I’ve ever known
      Can’t wait for tomorrow
      I might not have that long
      I’ll tear my heart out
      Before I get out
      Pink ribbon scars
      That never forget
      I tried so hard
      To cleanse these regrets
      My angel wings
      Were bruised and restrained
      My belly stings
      Today is
      Today is
      Today is
      The greatest day
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you on
      I want to turn you
      Today is the greatest
      Today is the greatest day
      Today is the greatest day
      That I have ever really known
