We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be African education

We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be black people education

Go to school brother
And learn what they are doing
It will open up your eyes
To the people's situation
Go to school my brother
I said go to school
You will understand very soon
All the problems of your nation

We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be African education

In your mind brother
There is the power to change the world
This understanding
Will help to make a better place
And in your hands brother
There is the key to this continent
And if you don't unlock it soon
It will be lost to the government

We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be African education

We want revolution
Young people revolution
Intelligent revolution
Must be black people education

African revolution must be black people redemption
