After the Revolution

You and me
By the warming sea
Buying something in a bag
Walking through the war
To the corner store
Everyone was poor and sad

So I picked a fight
Later on that night
I was sick of feeling shame
And I know it all
Couldn’t be your fault
But I need someone to blame

After the revolution
We’ll have a better life
You’ll be a better husband
I’ll be a better wife
We’ll have a jubilation
We’ll take a holiday
It won’t always be this way

Well the world is small
And they fucked it all
Long before we came around
And we work all day
Trying to catch a break
But it’s nowhere to be found
And it’s hard to love like you won’t give up
When the whole thing’s coming down

After the revolution
We’ll have a better life
You’ll be a better husband
I’ll be a better wife
We’ll have a jubilation
We’ll take a holiday
It won’t always be this way

My grandad
Fought at Leningrad
When they all knew what was fair
Now we try to fight
But it don’t seem right
Now the war is everywhere

After the revolution
We’ll have a better life
You’ll be a better husband
And I’ll be a better wife

After the revolution
We’ll have a better life
You’ll be a better husband
I’ll be a better wife
We’ll have a jubilation
We’ll take a holiday
It won’t always be this way
Won’t always be this way
Won’t always be this way
