      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
