What Are The Lyrics For I Asked When By Brett Dennen?
Well I dreamed I went out a wanderin'
I heard promises become fables forgotten I saw bridges stretchin' out across the water And towers pushing taller I knew my reality was clearly defined By the fences put up around my mind I watched them thicken into walls over time Taller than any boarder line I saw civilizations deemed insignificant I saw people's history tattooed on their skin I saw families taken from their land Dynasties shattered and stolen And I asked when is a revolution I asked when is a revolution In all the burdens of centuries accrue That get passed along to every generation's youth And all the allegories told in lieu of truth I watched them grow wild and spread like the flu I saw the rise of an untamed industry I watched machines paint a paper economy I saw my own self stand right in front of me And I didn't do a thing I saw poisons pushed in the street And prescription pills mingling in the mezzanine With a whole host of wealth of doctors and pharmaceutical companies Still poor people were dying from disease And I asked when is a revolution I asked when is a revolution I asked when is a revolution I asked when is a revolution And I broke down at the break of dawn I saw new meaning in the clouds above the Pentagon As real as the Holocaust as strong as the Parthenon Visions of Sudan Iraq and Vietnam I stood silent upon a flooded levy And stared at the ruins of a merchant city And the president who came to dine with the noble elite He didn't do a thing I saw three ships come sailing in Through the passage of the Caribbean I saw children coming home in coffins Millions marching on Washington And I asked when is a revolution I asked when is a revolution I asked when, when is a revolution I asked when is a revolution |
