You will be able to stay home, my man.
You will be able to boot up, log on and tweet out.
You will be able to lose yourself on Xanax
and check the latest Hollywood pervert outting.
But the revolution will not be televised

#IranUprising #IranProtests

The revolution will not be brought to you by McDonalds,
because Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice and John Kerry will not be "lovin' it."

The revolution will not show you pictures of Obama blowing a bugle and leading a charge by "Echo Chamber" hacks of the New York Times to tune out while they sell you a travel package to Tehran.

The revolution will not be televised.

The Revolution will not be brought to you by the Nike Pro hijab and will not feature Linda Sarsour selling it as women's empowerment."

The revolution will not advance your narrative,
The revolution will not increase your social media reach,
The revolution will not have a Star Wars or Marvel tie-in because
the revolution will not be televised, my man.

There will be no pictures of white women demanding free birth control,

There will be no pictures of pussy hat wearing trustafarians demanding free abortions,

There will be no pictures of TV fools wearing tampon earrings,
Because the women of Iran just want the right to wear their hair down and travel without a man's permission.

There will be no video of IRGC soldiers firing on unarmed Iranians on the instant replay,

There will be no video of women being punched for the crime of showing their hair,

There will be no slow motion or still life of Maryam Rajavi strolling through Qom rocking that stylish hair-do that she had been saving for just the right occasion.
Because the revolution will not be televised.

Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Sunday Night Protest Ball will no longer seem so damned relevant, and people will not care about how the Kennedys are portrayed on The Crown because Iranians will be in the streets tearing down a House of Cards.

The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the cable news, but Jake Tapper might tweet about it, then spend three days trying to bamboozle you into believing that he "covered" it.

There will be no mention of pallets of green-backs, billion dollar wire transfers or Hezbullah drug pushers.

The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white truck, white knights, or white progressives.

You will not have to worry about the length of a man's beard, the wrap of a woman's head scarf or the status of the Nuclear Deal Framework.

You won't have to worry about Mullah financed terror because the revolution will put Mullahs in the jump seat of free helicopter rides.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised.

The revolution will be live, and
*this* revolution will be online.
