Lyrics

You will choose to stay at home brother
For you'll be able to do everything you need from your potato couch
You'll be able to don your virtual helmet and
Experience the revolution on 360 degree all round CGI
You may choose to view as manga or
Hanna-Barbera as the Hair Bear Bunch
Because the revolution will be televised
The revolution will be brought to you by Apple Mac or PC World
With Nokia and Motorola providing SMS updates
The revolution will show pictures of hopefuls
Queuing overnight for the latest audition
With Pete Waterman as Che and Foxy as Fidel
Because the revolution will be televised
The revolution will be sponsored by GAP the khaki and camo collection
And it will star me as you
You will play yourself or Brad Pitt playing you
Or you playing Brad Pitt playing you
The revolution will be smoked, snorted, injected, chased or vaporised
It will be recorded on mini DV and kept in the pocket
The revolution will be digitised
Then transferred to all available formats
It will appear on your favourite CD as the bonus track
You'll be able to procure it cheap on VHS
Or pay a little bit more for the extra footage on DVD
Betamax will be available for the old school
Who are more gunsu than gumshoe
With their shell toes and grips
The revolution will shoot from the hip
(Let's get on with the application of instruments)
With a soundtrack by Huey Lewis and the News
With remixes available by William Orbit
C&C Music Factory and Soul II Soul
Because the revolution will be digitised
The revolution will be scratched, spun back and sampled as a loop
It will appear as the red button on your remote control
The revolution will operate a job share or flexi-time option
So you can have it at your leisure
Because the revolution will be televised
Away you bastards
The revolution will be permed, highlighted and set
It will have its own award ceremony
With the biggest winners unable to attend
Except for via live satellite link
Because of their current revolutionary commitments
The revolution will be a teacup in a storm or a bottle in a message
Or a door to a key
The revolution will always come with fries
Because the revolution will be televised
There'll be constant broadband live streams of
Rodney King being pummelled by pigs played as a loop
There'll be constant broadband live streams of
Rodney King being pummelled by pigs played as a loop
There'll be constant broadband live streams of
Rodney King being pummelled by pigs played as a loop
There'll be constant broadband live streams of
Rodney King being pummelled by pigs played as a loop
There will be footage of Ground Zero on 9/11
Played in reverse as the towers rebuild themselves
To remind us of what we're capable of
Because the revolution will be televised
The dramatisation will be produced and directed by George Lucas
Starring South Park's Cartman as Bin Laden
And George W. Bush as himself
The revolution will be hard my brothers
Because it will use Viagra, Kamagra
Oral Diclo and hardening of the arteries
In order to fit inside Ronald's happy meal box as the free gift
The revolution will have a new twist
Sponsored by Levi with a sticker campaign
Written in an illegible graffiti style font
Because the revolution will be advertised
And pay per view will have a whole new meaning brothers
The revolution will be available for Game
Boy, Disc 4, and Xbox and Gamecube today
The revolution will be televised
Will be televised
Will be televised brothers
Because the revolution is alive
