Where’s the RevolutionDepeche Mode

Released: February 3, 2017

Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Brendan Morawksi James Ford

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
You've been kept down
You've been pushed 'round
You've been lied to
You've been fed truths
Who's making your decisions?
You or your religion
Your government, your countries
You patriotic junkies

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
You've been pissed on
For too long
Your rights abused
Your views refused
They manipulate and threaten
With terror as a weapon
Scare you till you're stupefied
Wear you down until you're on their side

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
The train is coming
The train is coming
The train is coming
The train is coming
So get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
So get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board (Where's the revolution?)

The train is coming
The train is coming
The train is coming
The train is coming
So get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board (Where's the revolution?)
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
The engine's humming
So get on board
Get on board

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down
Where's the revolution?
Come on, people
You're letting me down

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
