[Intro] [distorted drum machine, bitcrushed vocal chops] [record scratch] [Verse 1] [male vocals, dry and aggressive] I stare at a vision screen, a visit of hate With unrest and deceit A man lashes out with a fist full of anger So caught up in his own beliefs [Chorus] [heavy synth bass enters] The revolution will be televised This time around it will be bought and sold Don't switch it off, don't shut it out The truth can hurt but now it must be told [Bridge] [vocal chops intensify, glitch effects] [Verse 2] [drums continue, bass pulse] A shot rings out on a busy street Of chaos, destruction and despair A crowd gathers there full of hate and fear For a world that doesn't care There's refugees the same as me But just a hand in a future time The difference is they're at war and famine Never left their shores like mine [Chorus] [full instrumentation] The revolution will be televised This time around it will be bought and sold Don't switch it off, don't shut it out The truth can hurt but now it must be told [Outro] [stutter edit on vocals] [fade out with glitch artifacts]
