The Revolution Will Be Live-Streamed

Slogans on the left, propaganda from the right


days of peace and quiet, they're gone and out of sight


this isn't going to wait, dear, kiss the kids, say good night


the people over here are walking over there


the searchlights and the rally with the skinheads in the square


move a little closer, pressure getting brought to bear



no more turn the other cheek, no more love your neighbor


no more sitting quiet with your mute collaborators


no more bending over or sitting out till later



they're standing at attention, pointing guns at you and me


Washington won't save us — looks like we're the enemy



the paranoid militias, the ammunition hoarders


the army on patrol, the cannons at the border


the money for the ad buy, the merch is all on order



the heavens cracking open with a steady bloody rain


the tube inoculating the nation from the pain


the bombs on Independence Ave, but were the people entertained?



the guns are locked and loaded, pointed straight at you and me


the government won't save us — looks like we're the enemy



the networks keeping score who's quicker on the draw


turn off the fucking flat screen, remember what you saw


tell the kids and tell their children 'bout the murder of the rule of law



they're marching in formation, on parade for all to see


the President won't save us — looks like we're the enemy
