Revisionism Street lyrics translation: BOB SEGER Revisionism Street song texte and letras BOB SEGER Revisionism Street tab, paroles and testo BOB SEGER Revisionism Street Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
Words and music by bob seger, craig frost, tim mitchell
I saw them standing on a corner
Bathed in ordinary light
They turned away and started walkin`
And faded off into the night
Some years ago they were in fashion
Tonight they couldn`t get a seat
They`ve got themselves a brand new history
From revisionism street
Written on revisionism street
The years of sacrifice and struggle
The arc of stardom`s natural course
The inevitable decline
The wolves waiting at the door
"let`s dig up something really nasty"
"let`s get some clay around their feet"
"no ones memory is sacred `round here
On revisionism street"
"we`ll never be in the arena"
"hey, we`ll never have to compete"
"we`ll never write a classic novel"
"and we`ll never have to be discreet!"
Alfred hitchcock, isaac newton
Elvis presley, captain bligh
They`re heroic or pathetic
Depending on which book you buy
Charles dickens, jackie gleason
Burn `em all, turn up the heat
If there`s no truth, use innuendo
This is revisionism street
"let`s find ourselves some old acquaintance"
"let`s see what they have to say"
"some disgruntled ex-employee"
"presto! payday!"
A tree falls in the forest
A million copies go to print
Some parasitic little feeder
Sits back and makes a mint
Somewhere a baby`s softly sleeping
Lt`s innocence complete
Unaware they`re workin` late tonight
