Song Notes
“Give me cherry bombs and gasoline!” Armstrong sings on the title track. The idea came to him in New York two years ago when he ran into a Black Lives Matter protest; before he knew it, Armstrong had gotten out of his car and was walking up Eighth Avenue with the throng. “I was screaming, ‘Hands up, don’t shoot,’ ” he says. “I felt like I was on the right side of history. … It’s like something is breaking in the world. A lot of the old people are dying off and the values of the Fifties generation are starting to break and what happened in the Sixties and is starting to manifest more now than it ever has before.”

Lyrics
Scream! With your hands up in the sky
Like you wanna testify
For the life that's been deleted
Scream! Like a rebel's lullaby
Under the stars and stripes
For the lost souls that were cheated
We will be seen, but not be heard
(We are) Revolution Radio
Operation "No Control"
And the headline (Headline)
"My love's bullet proof"
Gimme cherry bombs and gasoline
Debutantes in surgery
And the headline (Headline)
"Legalize the truth!"
(Gimme) Rage! Like there's tear gas in the crowd
Do you wanna live out loud?
But the air is barely breathing
Rise! Of the slums to the obsolete
The dawn of the new airwaves
For the anti-social media
(We are) Revolution Radio
Operation "No Control"
And the headline (Headline)
"My love's bullet proof"
Gimme cherry bombs and gasoline
Debutantes in surgery
And the headline (Headline)
"Legalize the truth!"
We will be seen, but not be heard
We are the songs of the disturbed
(We are) Revolution Radio
Operation "No Control"
And the headline (Headline)
"My love's bullet proof"
Gimme cherry bombs and gasoline
Debutantes in surgery
And the headline (Headline)
"Legalize the truth!"
