Lyrics:
Well you can bump and grind
It is good for your mind
Well you can twist and shout
Let it all hang out
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, no, no
Well you can Terraplane
In the falling rain
I drive a Rolls-Royce
'Cause it's good for my voice
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, no, no
Yeah
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No way!
