Lyrics
I am a revolutionary in a war
I'm climbing up a hill I have to reach for more
The hill is hot, the hill is steep
I have no choice, I must compete
I am a revolutionary in a war
and, happy, the lady is playing a song
She's pissing me off
The British army came to put us in our place
A single bullet put an end to my race
The hill is hot, the hill is brown
I have no choice, I must lie down
I was a revolutionary in a war
