You say we had a revolution Well where did it go to What you tried to change still remains But now it's owned and run by you What happened to all that you were And promised that you'd be Did you just pretend to care And none of us could see What happened wasn't meant to be Well you can play James Dean on the TV But one day you'll grow old Cos only the good die when they should And get to save a little soul What happened to the promises You broke so easily Did you just pretend to care and none of us could see What happened didn't have to be Don't you know I've watched your every move I think I know where you went wrong Was it when you lost that spark of truth That marked you out as someone So you can make out you're John Lennon But you won't win hearts and minds Only the truly great suffer the hand of fate And get to leave their mark behind What happened to all of the faith You shattered do easily Was it all in vain, was it all misplaced And none of us could see what happened I's history, ancient history
