Lyrics:  God the nation’s hitman  Hate tied to our chest,  Grace and compassion  Have died bloody deaths,  The voice in our head  The voice on the tube,  The voice tellin’ us  We’re all gonna lose    When gold is the price of health  And debt the path of life  And jobs fall by the wayside  Many millions ask why  Blank runs the country  Blank pounds my head  Blank is the color  The color of dead     And the lights go out  And the house grows cold  And I wonder what it’s like   To be a billionaire  In America.     We’re shoved tight and hard  Into a singular mold  Like so many more generations before  If uniforms were possible  And wires could be physical  We’d be tied tight to the dead temple floor.      Revolution  In the garden  From the wall I hope to see  Revolution  In the garden  We need someone we can believe    And the lights go out  And the house grows cold  And I am learning what it’s like  To be a billionaire  In America    We measure our days  And we measure our lives  By the lies we are told  And the truths we disguise  But time will not wait  And we need a change  The last chance is coming  And it won’t come again      Revolution  In the Garden  From the wall I hope to see  Revolution  In the garden  We need someone we can believe    Revolution  In the garden  We need someone we can believe    Revolution  In the Garden  Revolution  In the Garden    Revolution  Revolution  Revolution  Revolution 

about

'Revolution In The Garden' is an epic explosion of revelation, defiance and hope. Produced by bassist, David J Carpenter (John Doe, Jim White) and mixed by Dave Way (Fiona Apple, Macy Gray), Dead Rock West recorded the song in Deep Covid with each band member adding their parts in their own home studios. Something they've never done before now, always recording live in the room on their past releases, yet they manage to make 'Revolution...' sound like a band staring each other dead in the eye while in full flight.

A song about privilege, corporate interest, love and life in the face of immense forces, ’Revolution In The Garden’ is a highly socially aware song 30 years in the making. Cindy Wasserman and Frank Lee Drennen deliver the words with power as the rest of Dead Rock West, including special guest, Matt Lynott from ‘The White Buffalo’ and orchestration from The Section Quartet, pulses and swells around them. Written by a young Frank Lee Drennen and sometime-collaborator, Patrick Dennis when they were an ambitious, fervent young punk-folk duo ‘The Homer Gunns’, and one night challenged by Dave Sharp of The Alarm to write something that mattered, the song tells a story more timely now than the moment it was written in. An exciting surprise from a band who always keep their rock n roll engine perfectly-tuned but carefully in check. With 'Revolution...', they’ve unleashed themselves.
