Steve Earle - The Revolution Starts Now


Just wanted to bring this song to the attention of people making videos. It's called 'The Revolution Starts Now' by Steve Earle.

I couldn't find the complete studio version online anywhere, but here is a link for a sample on Amazon:

And here is a link to a video of Steve Earle performing a solo acoustic version live:

Here are the lyrics:

The Revolution Starts Now

I was walkin’ down the street
In the town where I was born
I was movin’ to a beat
That I’d never felt before
So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written ‘cross the sky
The revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now

The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts now

Yeah the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
So what you doin’ standin’ around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts now

Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
And all our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered ‘round
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now

Whole album is pretty nice actually if you like that kind of music. He even does a song called "F The FCC" on it!

I smell an amazing Ron Paul theme song...

That is a great album. I was actually thinking the same thing over the weekend as I was listening. "F in the CC" gets me going as well - but not exactly theme music there.

It's a natural for the campaign. Seeing how many different folks we have here it's kinda hard to pick just one song... but this one is my fav!

Shameless bump for maximum exposure.
