The revolution will not be blogged

Somebody posted this on LGF last night.


You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, log on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on vicodin and viagra,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be blogged.

The revolution will not be blogged.
The revolution will not be brought to you by blog-ads
In 4 parts on YouTube withou interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of the Silky Pony
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by Richard Clark, Obama and Al Gore to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be blogged.

The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Air America and will not star Rosey O'Donnald and George Clooney or the Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be blogged, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Slick Willie
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be blogged.

There will be no pictures of cops shooting down
Che supporters in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of cops shooting down
Che supporters in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Hillary being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Al Sharpton strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.

Survivor, CSI, and Paris Hilton will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because anti-idiotarians will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be blogged.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Cheryl Crow blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Snoop Dog, P Diddy, nor sung by Kelly Clarkston, Sanjiya, Englebert Humperdink, or the Pussy Cat Dolls.
The revolution will not be blogged.

The revolution will not be right back after a pop up ad
about a new mortgage, erectile disfunction pill, or Nigerian bank scam.
You will not have to worry about a virus in your
inbox, $4 gas in your tank, or the flame war on your board.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The revolution will not be blogged, will not be blogged,
will not be blogged, will not be blogged.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

(With apologies to Gil Scott-Heron)
