My Revolutionary Mind
Stretched out on my bed
Seeing all kinds of crazy notions
Running around through my head
One hand is on my pillow,
One hand on my head,
I see a million nightmares
Tearing around in my head;
I need a progressive woman;
I need an awfully liberal woman.
I need a social conscious woman
To ease my revolutionary mind.
If I could only make you see, babe,
I ache and pain and bleed, babe,
I know you’d come a runnin;
If you blistered both your feet.
If you could see me here, baby,
Broke out with salty sweat;
No matter where you go I know
You never could forget.
I need a progressive woman;
I need an awfully liberal woman.
I need a social conscious woman
To ease my revolutionary mind.
I need a progressive woman;
I need an awfully liberal woman.
Ain’t no reactionary baby
Can ease my revolutionary mind.
