After The Revolution single is included on Bill Fay Group's new album, Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow - out 2/23/24 via Dead Oceans. After The Revolution Song Lyrics are added here.
After the revolution
With my gun still smoking
I bent over the man I had shot.
His breath was warm
Against my ear
and I waited what seemed an eternity for the words
To take shape in his mouth.
There is no peace unless it be through Christ, no Freedom unless it be through God,
Knot in my stomach,
Old rage in my head,
and I go to shout no
but I could not tear the voice from my throat,
A voice that in its time had vomited forth a thousand words in anger
men and women are we to eat these rotting greens forever
or take up hammers against the reign of the monotone tide,
with pistols sparkling in the sun.
His eyes closed, head slumped back
