The Revolution
Brian Transau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Combat, better prepare to bust back.
The Revolution will be televised.
(The Revolution will be televised.)
(...bus ba... bus ba... b...b... b...ba... ba... ba... ba...)
Yeah!
The Revolution...
Yeah!
The Revolution will be televised.
The Revolution...
Welcome to the world
of computer chips and manuscripts
where everybody seals their lips.
Wrong or right we came to clear your sight.
Combat, better prepare to bust back.
TV screens get you the satellite beams.
Wrong or right we came to clear your sight.
This type of game comes as no surprise
Bloody divide
The Revolution will televise.
The Revolution will be televised.
The Revolution will be a war of attrition.
Wars against the sleeping.
The Revolution will be fought in all forms of media.
It'll be fought on phone lines...
on cable modems...
and our cell phones
and our palm pilots...
The revolution will be fought on... st... t...t... t...t... t
We stand in the face of a quickening...
and the great dumbing down of our people
and in our greatest minds
and we wage war
by whatever means necessary...
By punishing awakening.
Into our sources and into our thoughts...
By blaming? out of our Pleasantville.
Out of our gray summer.
This revolution is not free.
This revolution is not free.
It's powerful.
This revolution is our revolution.
And we embrace our revolution.
We've been signing? of years of lies and false revelation.
This is our revolution and our revolution is secure.
The Revolution will be televised ...

It is a call to utilize these tools to break the silence, to rebel against oppressive forces, and to push towards a brighter future.
Overall, The Revolution highlights the need for action and resistance in a time of cultural silence and complacency. It encourages us to overcome inertia and to engage with the world creatively, by whatever means necessary, in order to fight for a better tomorrow.
