So you think you're radical
So you think you know it all
Do you live life on the edge?
Does your conscience never rest?
You're just playing at being
The good bourgeois of such well-meaning
But you'll only know
A life that's beamed from a television studio
Armchair revolution - riot in suburbia
Armchair revolution - tear down all those garden fences
Armchair revolution - smash in all those televisions
Armchair revolution
So you always rant and rave
You're heading for an early grave
Your blood pressure goes sky-high
As you contemplate 'real life'
You just moan all day
There's got to be another way
You'll never do anything
You're too busy tilting at the windmills in your mind
You're an armchair warrior
Make the tea and wage class wars
Sit at home and smash the state
Man imagined barricades
No one's listening
Just hollow words no one believes in
Don't you realise
You're a Walter Mitty for domestic paranoids
So you think you know it all
Do you live life on the edge?
Does your conscience never rest?
You're just playing at being
The good bourgeois of such well-meaning
But you'll only know
A life that's beamed from a television studio
Armchair revolution - riot in suburbia
Armchair revolution - tear down all those garden fences
Armchair revolution - smash in all those televisions
Armchair revolution
So you always rant and rave
You're heading for an early grave
Your blood pressure goes sky-high
As you contemplate 'real life'
You just moan all day
There's got to be another way
You'll never do anything
You're too busy tilting at the windmills in your mind
You're an armchair warrior
Make the tea and wage class wars
Sit at home and smash the state
Man imagined barricades
No one's listening
Just hollow words no one believes in
Don't you realise
