To Be Broadcast Live

I’m looking out there at a world
standing while it’s asleep
it’ll make you wish you hadn’t tried
to be «so fucking great»
now you’re the one
it wants to think I trusted you
things will never be the same
what’s the R-E-V without someone who knows
what’s the R-E-V if you don’t already know
walk around downtown
it’s gorgeous here like where I came from
I thought we had a moment
I thought we had something
but where are you now
what’s the R-E-V without someone who knows
what it’s like to cross over and go live
it’s already started
to be broadcast
we’ve made the front page ladies
who’s talking about us now
I heard the TIMES would like an interview
if you had to choose a leader who would it be
and what would they do
there are enough of us now
do you care about us at all
what’s the R-E-V without conviction
did you think we needed your permission
what’s the R-E-V stand for anyway
what’s the R-E-V-O-L-U
to be live
it’s 2/3rds over
catch the last fight
it just might be the best ten minutes of your life
come here it’s not close to over
cuz it’s gonna last forever
because it’s live it’s live it’s live it’s live
