So tell me family now what do you think?
Watch it all go in the great big sink.
Watch how the scum it rises to the top.
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop?
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep,
serving the dodgy companies we keep.
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place - dictionary definition of a rat race.
Pay off those losers we elect to lead,
stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed. Enslaving the very clothes upon my back,
I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack,
I'm saying +
Running through the fire, running through the flame, running through the hatred, pushing through the blame, running through the hopelessness and shame,
revolution already underway ++
[B]ig Heavy [P]irates man digging those holes,
messing with something that they can't control. Trespassing lands where they don't belong,
all I hear is screaming where there once were songs.
I got my brothers they're fighting those wars,
fighting over scraps and scraping their sores.
Under a blanket of a fire and pride that can't keep us warm for the cold inside, inside,
I'm saying +
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?
Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake,
open my fist my destiny I take!
Good people sick and tired of being pushed around,
we call them kings but I see no crown.
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up?
Saying enough is enough is enough, enough,
I'm saying
++ Take back your feet, take back your hands,
take back your words, take back your land.
Take back your heart, take back your pride,
don't got to run, don't got to hide.
Revolution!
Special thanks to Brian Carp and all the crew at the Fox Theatre. You make it all possible.
Was devastated when cold chisel split in 83-84, thought no one could replace them, was disappointed when powder finger announced their final concert tour.
Just listening to Revolution by John Butler Trio, and satisfied Australian made rock is alive and well, looking forward to a new era of Aussie rock legend
Butler is straight fire here: passionate and fully engaged in his performance.
superbe melodie,super voix,bonne batterie,tout est nikel,ça fait une morço magnifique et ça fait du bien!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
merci
how does this only have 117,481 seriously this guy is a legend, jbt music is incredible. To many 90's kids ( not all of you) and the current music producers and record labels have just destroyed music completely, there is just nothing enjoyable any more im losing faith in current and future music scene and fast, we need to wind back to the late 80's early ninties
For the musos wondering, the little black thing he uses at the start is called an "Ebow". It's this thing that creates a magnetic field between it and the strings, making them vibrate really fast, which gives you endless sustain. JB has about three loops going into a loop station, so he's building them up at the start. The company "Ebow" are the only people who make them though, so no competition means they can set their prices high. I got mine for $200 something.
Love it! One of my dreams is to see John Butler live... They're really like an oasis in a music desert... Unbelievable!
Je l'ai vu 4 fois, en France
its amazing how that guitar sound slike a violin/organ at the start, alsmost souynd slike a pianist playing two notes at once... incredible
Sounds like a pure Gospel message to me. One heart one mind one Spirit yes I can hear the message in this song. May God bless and guide you in all things. Jesus loves you and so do I......
I was at this show and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen.....and I have seen a LOT of shows.
one of my favorits...Lets pray him in...God get him! One your protcals and he doesn't even know it! By the bloood of Jesus... what ever it take Lord we don't want to let him go....soften his heart direct his vision to you heal any wounds and pick him up in Jesus name!
Oh boy heaven is GRAND cant wait to praise the Lord with this dude!
me. john butler. in the same room tonight! revolution already underway ...
i think this is one of his greatest song
When will we next see John Butler Trio in New Zealand? I will be there. This song is just great. Just keeps getting better and better.
This is filmed just as beautiful as John performed.. I would of been honored to of heard this live.
What a way to open up an album. Everything about this song is genius to me. It's good to hear Nicky Bomba back on drums too! We need more people with hope, like Butler. Great video too!
love this song... would be a huge it if they released it as a single
Don't waste your time. Some people just don't understand. Especially over the internet. To make a difference it's all about the real life experiences. You gotta lift people out of slumps and negativity. Be the change. Through doing this you will elevate your state of consciousness to one that omits love, compassion, joy and happiness to all those around you. Use less offensive language, encourage positive vibes. Try not to condemn negativity. Fighting fire with fire doesn't work.
The drummer is living the dream.
john butler is amazing.
Cant wait to see him in september!
FANTASTIC!!!
The trio was definitely best during Grand National.
wish they still played it live like they play it here with the extended ending its so much better in this one but awesome song altogether amazing stuff
What a meaningful song!!! LOVE it!
Awesome!!!!!!!!
i love this song,and all of yyyour music
Better than the album version....why did they fade out on the album :(
quality song!
@SookyTurner in his hand . Just a little plastic device with a bobbin (e-magnet) in it . Makes the string vibrates somehow ... anyway the point is : you place your ebow next to the strings and they go "Zzziiiiinnnnnggggwoooooooooooooooozzzzinnng" violin-like . those things are a bit expensive , but cool .
AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw JBT live in Hobart 2 nights ago.. This song is AMAZiNg live! Tidy work boys! Come back soon :)
Touring Queensland September I'm there!
he's a rare precious diamond I'm proud to belong to the small part who knows him!
Id ask who the only one to dislike this is.. but judging from the little "evolution" lesson from Sir DoucheAlot, i think i got it
This song is amazing live.
233 likes 0 dislikes.. Rare to find any dislikes for john butler even if its a joke. Sick instrumental
Thank you so much Fox for uploading this!
goging to see them in july
Love this song!
@eighty8assassins
An e-bow, and he's using some sort of looping system controlled by his feet
Absolutely amazing, love it
cant wait dream come true
@spindatshit1 I couldn't agree with you more and relate to how you feel anymore than i do (i hope there are others that feel this way also)... John Butler has all the qualities that most 'artists' of today seem to lack... Its a shame record labels aren't spending they're time, money and power on this guy and others like him. haha dont forget about the late 60's and early 70's some great music from the 80's and 90's were heavily influenced by that time period !
ese sonido se saca con un arco de violin electrico, si lo pegas a la cuerda, produce una vibracion fina, y esa vivracion ace que suene asi la guitarra, como un violin casi
THIS IS AWESOME!
What a fantastic version of this song! :-)
@dracken8
been following JBT since 04 when they were a support act, my point was they have and will stand the test of time.
great song
Cool Brother
The device is called an 'E Bow' look it up.
@JYZProductions thanks heaps. Do you know any good american sites you can get them from? Cuz the aussie dollar is pretty good atm... And can you still pick easily with it or do you just use that for a whole peice. Thanks heaps man.
nice dudes.....
why the hell are there people talking during this phenomenal performance???
I don't think i would of clapped at the end of the song...I would of been to busy picking up my jaw off the floor
Is this is in Burnaby? Good video! :)
fight to end obscurity in the world? lol. Thumbs up!
Dude doesn’t even need to look at the neck. True musician
@YeabrahhHH He is not the only one to ue such type of guitare ;)
REVOLUTIONNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
great!!! John, do you singinig also?? you could simpli play guitar )))))))))
So weird, but very cool! Thanks man!
Nicky Bomba is da bomb ;)
i kinda miss the old trio that was on the live from st gallen album. the new group still kicks ass but its not the same...
who can dislike this?
@afro70 i totaly agree!
@JYZProductions is he holding it in his hand or is it a pedal you get for the ground?
@anthonyergo well said,totally agree.
Really need someone to put this intro onto guitar pro or transcribe it or explain when to come in on each note!!!
thanks man.
you can actually see emotions on his face while he is singing
Wish i had money to buy equipment haha
My guess (based on other performances of this song, but he plays it the same way here, so should be good to go) is an open C tuning :)
I dedicate this song to my friend Mars Lasar★*★*★*★*★STARCHILD*★*★*★*★*★=Deborah Juodaitis★*★*★*6*12★6★
i beth his kids cant wait for bring your dad into school day!!!
I'm John Butler
@BlittoJr too funny good one :)
@bbren55 buy the album and they are in the cover
an ebow works on acoustic guitars? or is it just bc hes got a pickup installed?
its way better than CD version
for those who don wanna wait... 0:00 ;D
@YeabrahhHH uh 12 strings guitar are not rare you know... But if i were you i'd say : WTF he has 11 strings on his guitar ?!?!?!?! Only one G string.
how the hell does "gangnam style" get more views and likes than this...this is REAL music
whats that little black box called in his hand at the start?
looking for that one guy who dislike this video..... lol come to freo dude!
whats the thing called that he uses with his right hand to make the sustain ish sounds ?
@Aelexxtube yeah me too :)
where was this?
@themoz3 Erm, I meant Fall of the Republic.
you know if he kept this rawness and passion in his studio albums... he would be better received. That gutshot accenuation just isnt there when I hear this single on the radio. All I hear on the radio is a generic chrous line... which is too bad.
One guy is against the Revolution.
@EverittMerritt yea precisely i feel like totally the same:P
@shaneblazer59 You have a Brian? Dude, I thought slavery was abolished.
I once ate a potato and it was good
anyone know the lyrics to this song?
JBT rocks!
@themoz3 Yeah not really. He is a talented musician and his message is actually quite relevant. Watch the Zeitgeist Movement, The Obama Deception and Rise of the Republic as well as other sources to understand what he is trying to say. You don't have to, just might help you understand him.
what the pedal is this??
Do you know what tuning is he using?
@tomguitarpro17 single baby
qualcuno mi tradurrebbe cortesemente ciò che dice all'inizio?
@isher69 well you're about 10 years too late lol. he's already had 5 albums.
