You don’t need a weatherman


The revolution won’t be televised
Or sponsored by Nike,B.P.or Coke.

You won’t find it on Fox or CNN
But in the hearts of the downtrodden
With hope.

The working poor,fattening the hog
Used,abused then put out like a dog
Till needed again
The control junkies dope

The salt of the earth
Hardening power hungry arteries
Bringing on the fatal stroke

Then the reincarnation of reason.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

No, no weathermen needed, not FOX or any other lame media manipulators.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
