Wonder why you were able to stay at home brother

Wonder why you were able to plug in, turn on and zone out

Wonder why you were able to lose yourself in the HD graphics

And to fast forward past beer commercials

Because the revolution has been synthesized

The revolution has been synthesized

The revolution was brought to you in part by HP

Over 5 nights with limited commercial interruption

The revolution was captured in pictures of Jesse Jackson

Blowing a bugle and leading the charge for equality

By Al Sharpton and Barack Obama feasting

On the hopes and dreams of Black America

The revolution has been synthesized

The revolution has been scientifically created and lab tested

Our progression was falsified, our development has been arrested

The revolution was produced in a studio in front of a live audience

Edited for content and to run in the allotted time

The revolution has been rated PG-13 to allow the children to see

So they can share the experience via Facebook and Twitter

There will be no really historic changes made

No equality gained or rights won

The marches we witnessed were just lines to see the revolution in 3D

But for those that couldn’t make it, the revolution was made for TV

The revolution has been synthesized
