The Revolution Still Won't Be Televised, by Snarkism
You will not be
able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and drop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on Playstation and
Skip out for freedom fries during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will
not be brought to you by ADM
In 4 parts without commercial interruption.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Rove
Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Ashcroft,
Donald Rumsfeld and Jerry Fallwell to suck
Black nipples revealed during a wardrobe malfunction.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will
not be brought to you by the MTV Music Awards and
Will not star Hallie Berry and Keanu Reeves or Homer and Marge.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the terrorists.
The revolution is not the Atkins diet,
Because The revolution will not be televised, Brother.
There will be no
pictures of you and Michael Moore
Pushing that Diebold machine down the block on the dead run,
Or trying to balance that Playstation on a stolen Segway.
Fox will not predict the winner at 8:32 or the count from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no
pictures of pigs shooting down
Democrats in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of young being
Run out of Ohio on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no
slow motion or still life of
Al Sharpton strolling through Florida in a Gitmo-Orange Jumpsuit
That he had been saving for just the right occasion.
CSI, Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, and
American Idol will no longer be so damned relevant,
And men will not care if Paris Hilton finally gets down with Carrie on Sex in
the City,
Because American people will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no
highlights on the 24-hour News-crawl
and no pictures of pierced feminist dykes and
Maria Shriver blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Danny Elfman,
nor sung by Jet, The White Stripes, Johnny Cash, or Rueben Studdard.
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will
not be right back after a message
About a terrorist alert, a terrorist plot, or terrorist liberals
You will not have to worry about anthrax in your mail,
Osama in your trunk, or the intricacies of Empire.
The revolution will not go better with Halliburton.
The revolution will not give you a color-coded threat rating.
The revolution WILL put you in the driver's seat (of a fuel-efficient eco-car).
The revolution will not be televised,
WILL not be televised,WILL NOT BE TELEVISED.
The revolution will
be no re-run Democrats;
The revolution will be live.
