Lyrics for My October Symphony

So much confusion When autumn comes around What to do about October? How to smile behind a frown? It's hard to settle down It's so bemusing Will they cancel the parade? We marched each October Now they say we were never even saved We must be very brave Shall I rewrite or revise My October symphony? Or as an indication Change the dedication From revolution to revelation? So we're all drinking As leaves fall to the ground Because we've been thinking How October's let us down Then and now Shall we remember December instead? Or worry about February? Mourn our war-torn dead Never seeing red? Shall I rewrite or revise My October symphony? Or as an indication Change the dedication From revolution to revelation?
