The Poisonjester's Mask

There was tear gas in the poisonjester's mask
 Shed a tear, dear, for the clown
 Tried to fight fire with water
 It went down on the ten o'clock news
 I bought the paper and walked back to where I'd parked
 The man on the movie theater steps
 Can always find his needle
 But I wonder where's the thread?
 Chorus:
 How much more can we bare
 'Til the way is paved?
 For the revolution
 There'll be nothing left unchanged
 Tonight I'm tired and I'm worn, so I consent
 To cede control to the remote
 To wrap me in its airtight void
 And keep me from my own
 (Chorus)
 For the revolution
 There'll be nothing left unchanged
 We fight just wars and we build just walls
 We raise cities and make cities fall
 We raise children and we write their names
 On granite walls, we don't like losing games
 (Chorus)
