“We are the revolution, we are the face of change...” - BRE
"In 2013, out of the blue I wrote the chorus to The Revolution. It was so obviously a protest song, but I didn't quite know what it was about. I decided to save the song for when I had a reason to sing it. Fast forward 9 years, Roe V Wade was overturned in a landmark decision by a biased Supreme Court. The outrage I, along with many other woman in the United States felt was palpable. I was so angry that the only way I felt I could express it was by writing music about it. I dug through my old songs, found this song, and was amazed at how fitting the chorus was to what was happening in our lives. I wrote the verses and the bridge specifically about the lack of separation between church and state and the audacity of a governmental body telling us what WE could do with ours. When the song was finished but before it's release, massive protests broke out in Iran surrounding the murder of Mahsa Amini by morality police. Again an issue of the lack of separation between church and state. This song is dedicated to every woman who has faced oppression by the government that was created to protect her, and an encouragement that when we stand together, we shall prevail." - BRE

The Revolution Lyrics
Land of the free
Don’t look like it to me
When you sign us into silence
Your faith comes first
your blessing is our curse
And you swear our choice is violence
We are never backing down
We are taking back our ground
We are the revolution
We are the face of change
We are the generation the defines the modern age
We are the rebel soldiers
We’ll fight this battle well
Where it goes heaven knows
But we are here to raise some hell
The polls are high
Don’t matter who will die
Cause you won’t be affected
The will of man
No before or after plan
Just as long as you’re elected
We are knocking down your door
You are going to hear us roar
(Chorus)
1 and 2 and 3 and 4
You aint seen us like this before
You got strength but we got more
7 8 and 9 and 10
We aint doing this shit again
We’ll fight until the very end
(Chorus)
