	Story Behind the Song this song was motivated by the increasing pressure to knuckle under to evangelical, fundamentalist capitalism. It was recorded on a four-track tape deck, at the end of a tape with two other songs on it, and was cut short because i was running out of tape. now that i'm working in digital 12-track, i hope to put out a long version soon. the chorus, "OM VAJRAPANI HUNG" is in praise of the Buddha who purifies us through extreme situations. Lyrics look what's happenin' on the street got the revolution, got the revolution 1968 was great got the revolution, got the revolution i was there ashberry and haight got the revolution, got the revolution and it will come as no surprise got the revolution, got the revolution I learned to see the world through magic eyes got the revolution, got the revolution got to see behind the scenes got the revolution, got the revolution got to glimpse what meaning means got the revolution, got the revolution saw where greed and anger led got the revolution, got the revolution took another road instead got the revolution, got the revolution like so many of my kind got the revolution, got the revolution touched the heart of wisdom mind got the revolution, got the revolution made a vow i'd always be got the revolution, got the revolution a magic revolutionary we walked right in we sat right down we let our minds roll on turned the angels and the demons loose we let them have their fun we took on all comers in our youthful pride tryin’ to break on through to the other side we did magic in the hills we did magic in the city we were stormin’ heaven we were shown no pity many fell dead or wounded from within years sped by, our ranks grew thin when I set out to save the world victory seemed so certain nothing between me and paradise but the flimsiest of curtains now we’re rockin’ on the edge of hell but I have learned my lessons well i will not give up what i know no matter what wind may blow i pledge that i will always be a magic revolutionary
