Notes

Martin Gore told Trackrecord.net:

"“Where’s the Revolution” was written at some point in 2015. I think, there was a sense of things going wrong and the world wasn’t in a great place then. That was pre-Brexit, but you know there were awful problems going on. The Syrian crisis had been dragging on for years... I live in America, and around that time there were blacks getting shot on a kind of weekly basis by the police and rioting, you know—the whole Middle East, is just a big mess. I can’t believe the West has sat back and watched Syria get worse and worse and worse. It’s a very difficult problem to solve, especially when the Russians and the rest of the world are on different pages, but you know on a humanitarian level it’s just—I can’t believe people can sit back and let it happen."

Martin Gore also told Radio Eins in 2017:

"It was one of the first songs that I wrote for the album [Spirit] that kind of started this social commentary."

Dave Gahan told Rolling Stone:

"Martin wrote [this song] in a very sarcastic, English way."
