Revolution never changes....

Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
So it's the end of 2020. One hell of a year. Surely next year will be better. Surely. This was actually written in 2018 but seems to fit these times uncannily well.
Lyrics
I can feel it as a voltage on the tips of my skin I swear the revolution is about to begin I hear the whispers from the runners at the edge of the park Crackle like static in the jittery dark Something real's being born Not just another false dawn Not this time Oh please, not this time 'Cause I'm waiting on the big one Waiting on the next big thing Waiting on the big one And an end to all this suffering Now social media, what a surprise Big fat promises, made of lies But this isn't just a fashion or a flash in the pan Cashing in on trash as only passion can We're taking control Not selling souls Not this time Oh please, not this time 'Cause I'm waiting on the big one Waiting on the next big thing Waiting on the big one And an end to all this suffering Waiting on the big one Waiting on the next big thing Waiting on the big one And an end to all this suffering I can't take another installment of pain, Bullied and swindled and cheated again. But I'm so, so sure that this is happening soon, Wet eyes blinking in an empty room. Holding my breath. Hope against hope that the dream's not dead Not this time Oh please, not this time
