Spinning

Ben Macnair

The revolution will not be televised,
but you will read about in on Twitter.
Robin Hood does not take from the rich,
and give it all to the poor.
He has a web site and a legend to maintain.

The revolution will not be televised,
it will be mentioned on News 24,
between the hours of two and three,
the best time for burying the dead,
and the bad news,
without many people seeing it.

The revolution will not be televised.
It will be spoken about by Jay Leno,
Maybe Dennis Leary will talk about it,
Between periods of anger and reflective vitriol.

The revolution will not be televised.
Alumnus of Eton will line up and say how things are.
The revolution is over.
Until the next one starts.
They come crashing in like waves,
Everyday, hour by hour by hour

The revolution has been televised,
I think you missed it.
it was mentioned between a famine in Africa,
and Pippa Middleton’s new dress.
