"The Revolution Will Not Be On Social Media"

You will not be able to phone home.
You will not be able to swipe left, press like, tweet.
You will not be able to uber yourself to safety
or to breath in fresh air
because the crowd will be attacked by military police with smoke

The revolution will not be on social media
The revolution will not be advertised or planned
with sponsors, and TV crews, and newsmen

The revolution will not show you pictures of Trump
in an airforce jumpsuit, leading the charge
No generals, no elite, no congressmen, or senators
They've all gone underground

The revolution will not be on social media
The revolution is not led by the left or the right
It will be the hungry bullies, looking for food
with guns, and knives, and mad Max ideals
The revolution will not get you a girlfriend
The revolution will not be for newbies or junkies
The revolution will not make you healthy or look good
because the revolution will not be on social media

There will be no pictures of you holding flags
pushing up the poll with your buddies at your side
and no prisoners you release from bondage and slavery
No one will profit, no one will win
except for violence and sin
The revolution will not be on social media
