Lyrics by Sean Palmer

The revolution will be televised
while the television is being revolutionised
the revolution will be in 3D
you’ll receive anti-fog goggles through the post
so you can watch the riots and starving babies streamed live to your sitting room
while you’re sipping your tea
you won’t have to move to switch the news,
for televisions will read your minds,
follow your eyes, feed you lies, hear your baby’s cries and sympathise,
coz if you want your baby to sleep,
one shift of thought a blink and it bleeps,
and you’ll have technicolor, holographic, digital, cyber fences with jumping sheep
yes the revolution will be televised
but will you have time to watch it if you need to respond to flurry of farcebook friend requests, a flood of invitations and clean your inbox from the damn notifications
yes the revolution will be televised but you may be too busy going mobile to notice
missing the revolution? theres an app for that
the revolution has started and its all on-line
there are photos and videos on facebook and vimeo
one says “this is how it started yo!”
you and 95 friends like this

refrain:
turn on, tune in, log on or download us
SPand Break Da Funk have come to start the fuss
Yeah! we’ve come from the future to save the past
from a fate worse than death... its the mighty lard arse!
if you had an extra life, what would you do with todays?
would you live like you live or would you change your ways?
don’t be fooled by what you see on your television
coz we all are the writers of the revolution
____

the revolution endlessly flows with public private info
And you’ll be in fo
a big shock can you hear the tick the doomsday clock
google that and you’ll be unsurprised
that this too is being televised
to all those with a remote, sitting on your butt
think you got control, well you not
as the television merges with the internet
todays shallow channels will grow infinite
,go for a run, leave your house
interact with some people, get off your mouse
all your clicks count and as your clicks mount
some young buck is making big bucks
on the back of your choices,
as preempted voices on the cyber market aisles
spanning virtual miles and miiles and miles and miles...
yet with one quick switch (its like bye bye bitch and) all the smiles are defiled
and cyber space becomes no place to be
a lost cosmos, a nano particle, an article to find but it won’t be that
easy... to find when lost... coz its small... and... spike where’s the beat?
but no need to fear... for there are 7 men with keys,
masters of our universe, well versed in the verse of programming linguistically,
So if there is the big black out, ahhhhhhh!
six of them can back out, huh?
but one must turn the key, to reboot humanity

SPand Break Da Funk have come to start the fuss
Yeah! we’ve come from the future to save the past
from a fate worse than death... its the mighty lard arse!

don’t be fooled by what you see on your television

yes the revolution will be televised, for we run the television, we are the television, our society programmes what we watch and though we cuss, we watch us.
as cables carry hyper speed news to your home
the revolutions not happening alone
you and i will be sitting there, pretending its happening elsewhere,
yes the revolution will be televised so you should watch it from a gym or somewhere like that
coz we’ve see the future and its grim oh its fat
but not like hyped, like woow, like good,
but like too much fat and too much food,
yes there’ll be harmony between the races
but we’ll all suffer from stuffing our faces
Gm crops were never cropped, instead our nations over adopted,
this form of fighting natural selection, finding science engineered protection,
feed the world, make it a better place,
but that don’t mean over load us with mountains a maize!
the meds developed to fight mass disease,
lead to over population and a global squeeze,
eeuurrghhhhh!
oh please, take heed, what we seed is not far off,
leave your car, stroll across the grass, buy a buss pass, for!
the revolution leads the large to be lean,
the messed up minds fighting to be clean,
the searchers hoping for wisdom to glean and
even the supreme being
will be seen to evolve in the gleam
of the revolutions
full beam
