Intro: D*
Jet pilot for the day
Washed his sins away
Loves to see the Rangers [D*]play
His daddy has a job in Washington
Wants to raise a Harvard [D*]son
Junior liked to let his hair down
Only trouble is, word gets around
Prechorus tab (see below) X2
Revolution will be televised
across living rooms
and the great divide
Robbing barren ghettos
for us now
everybody needs a hunting ground
D*
D*
Jet Pilot flown away
Got a passing grade
Made it to the world [D*]stage
A hemisphere away
Death is on display
The sins would never wash [D*]away
Junior liked to let his hair down
Only trouble is, word gets around
Prechorus tab (see below) X2
Revolution will be televised
across living rooms
and the great divide
Robbing barren ghettos
