You say we had a revolution
Well where did it go to
What you tried to change still remains
But now it's owned and run by you
What happened to all that you were
And promised that you'd be
Did you just pretend to care
And none of us could see
What happened wasn't meant to be
Well you can play James Dean on the TV
But one day you'll grow old
Cos only the good die when they should
And get to save a little soul
What happened to the promises
You broke so easily
Did you just pretend to care
and none of us could see
What happened didn't have to be
Don't you know I've watched your every move
I think I know where you went wrong
Was it when you lost that spark of truth
That marked you out as someone
So you can make out you're John Lennon
But you won't win hearts and minds
Only the truly great suffer the hand of fate
And get to leave their mark behind
What happened to all of the faith
You shattered do easily
Was it all in vain, was it all misplaced
And none of us could see what happened
I's history, ancient history
