Take a Look into the Past 2011

We got CNN the internet YouTube for video
The whole world can be watching you
Most everywhere you go
Britney Spears forgot her panties
Everybody got a shot

Buddhist monk Mahatma Gandhis
Shoutin' slogans in the street
Democracy! democracy!
The general's on his knees
People want their freedom
All over the world

From Iran to North Korea
Train's a rollin' down the track
Take the power from the people
They're gonna want it back
Yeah they're gonna want it back

You could see it in Tunisia
On the streets of Cairo too
The voice of freedom's calling
Nothing anyone can do
It's the spark of revolution
The kind that made the USA

From Iran to North Korea
Train's a rollin' down the track
Take the power from the people
They're gonna want it back
Yeah they're gonna want it back

Heard somebody call it revolution 2.0
Facebook got it started
Twitter helped it grow
Armageddon is approaching
I Hear the TV preachers say

I think every generation
Thinks it's gonna be the last
But if you wanna see the future....
Take a look into the past
Take a look into the past
Take a look into the past
