Jez singing one of Scott Cook's reggae classics from back in our Taiwan days.

lyrics

Bring up the real revolution
As you know it won't be on TV
This kind of thing you gotta stick around & get to know people to see
It won't be won by rhetoric
It won't be won with guns
It won't be won standing on the backs of anyone
If it's the real revolution it won't make us all the same
If it's the one real revolution it won't need a name

But peacefulness & compassion
Family feeling & compassion
Tolerance & compassion
In a time of war & hate

You go on about us & them
You got em both inside
One that you hold up a banner for
One that you try to hide
If it's a real revolution
Won't be led by a man of war Y
ou will become the thing you fight against
If you only see what you fight for

Beat the swords into ploughshares
Beat the swords into ploughshares
Beat your swords into ploughshares & dig in, & work

Bring up the real revolution
In your heart & mind
Keep the thought of it close to you
In desperate times
It won't be led by a guru
Who lives his life like a god
It won't be led by a rockstar
It won't be led by the mob
If it's the real revolution
It's the one within It's the one we've been fighting since the world began

Peacefulness & compassion
Family feeling & compassion
Tolerance & compassion
In a time of cold hearts
& landmines
& bombs
& hate

Beat your swords into ploughshares
Beat your swords into ploughshares
Beat your swords into ploughshares
And dig in.
