Lyrics

**** are scared of revolution
But **** shouldn't be scared of revolution
Because revolution is nothing but change
And all **** do is change
**** come in from work and change into pimping clothes
And hit the streets to make some quick change
**** change their hair from black to red to blond
And hope like hell their looks will change
**** kill other **** just because one didn't receive the correct change
**** change from men to women, from women to men
**** change, change, change
You hear **** say, "Things are changing? Things are changing?"
Yeah, things are changing
**** change into "Black" **** things
"Black" **** things that go through all kinds of changes
The change in the day that makes them rant and rave "Black Power, Black Power!"
And the change that comes over them at night
As they sigh and moan, "White thighs, ooh, white thighs"
**** always goin' through bullshit change
But when it comes for real change
**** are scared of revolution
**** are actors, **** are actors
**** act like they are in a hurry
To catch the first act of the "Great White Hope"
**** try to act like Malcolm
And when the white man doesn't react toward them like he did Malcolm
**** want to act violently
**** act so cool and slick, causing white people to say
"What makes you **** act like that?"
**** act like you ain't never seen nobody act before
But when it comes to acting out revolution
**** say, "I can't dig them actions!"
**** are scared of revolution
**** are very untogether people
**** talk about getting high and riding around in L's
**** should get high and ride to hell
**** talk about pimping
Pimping that, pimping what? Pimping yours, pimping mine
Just to be pimping is a helluva line
**** are very untogether people
**** talk about the mind, talk about
"My mind is stronger than yours," "I got that bitch's mind uptight!"
**** don't know a damn thing about the mind, or they'd be right
**** are scared of revolution
**** fuck, **** fuck, fuck, fuck
**** love the word fuck
They think it's so fuckin' cute, they fuck you around
The first thing they say when they're mad is, "Fuck it!"
You play a little too much with them, they say "Fuck you"
When it's time to TCB
**** are somewhere fucking
Try to be nice to them, they fuck over you
**** don't realize while they doin' all this fucking
They're getting fucked around
And when they do realize it's too late
So **** just get fucked up
**** talk about fucking
Fuckin' that, fuckin' this, fuckin' yours, fuckin' my sis
Not knowing what they're fucking for
They ain't fucking for love and appreciation
Just fucking to be fucking
**** fuck White thighs, Black thighs
Yellow thighs, Brown thighs
**** fuck ankles when they run out of thighs
**** fuck Sally, Linda, and Sue
And if you don't watch out, **** will fuck you!
**** would fuck "Fuck" if it could be fucked
But when it comes to fucking for revolutionary causes
**** say, "Fuck revolution!"
**** are scared of revolution
**** are players, **** are players, are players
**** play football, baseball and basketball
While the white man is cuttin' off their balls
When the ****'s play ain't tight enough
To play with some black thighs
**** play with white thighs
To see if they still have some play left
And when there ain't no white thighs to play with
**** play with themselves
**** tell you they're ready to be liberated
But when you say "Let's go take our liberation"
**** reply, "I was just playin'!"
**** are playing with revolution and losing
**** are scared of revolution
**** do a lot of shootin', **** do a lot of shootin'
**** shoot off at the mouth
**** shoot pool, **** shoot craps
**** cut around the corners and shoot down the street
**** shoot sharp glances at White women
**** shoot dope into their arm
**** shoot guns and rifles on New Year's Eve
A new year that is coming in
Where white police will do more shooting at them
Where are **** when the revolution needs some shots?
Yeah, you know, **** are somewhere shootin' the shit
**** are scared of revolution
**** are lovers, **** are lovers are lovers
**** love to see Clark Gable make love to Marilyn Monroe
**** love to see Tarzan fuck all the natives
**** love to hear the Lone Ranger yell, "High ho, Silver!"
**** love commercials, **** love commercials
Oh how **** love commercials
"You can take **** out of the country, but
You can't take the country out of ****"
**** are lovers, are lovers, are lovers
**** loved to hear Malcolm rap, but they didn't love Malcolm
**** love everything but themselves
But I'm a lover too, yes I'm a lover too
I love ****, I love ****, I love ****
Because **** are me, and I should only love that which is me
I love to see **** go through changes, love to see **** act
Love to see **** make them plays and shoot the shit
But there is one thing about **** I do not love
**** are scared of revolution
