A.D. Carson - The Revolution, Version 2.0 [for Gil Scott-Heron] [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Not only will The Revolution not be televised,
The Revolution will not be tweeted.
Nor will it be featured
in any status update
in your Facebook news feed.
You will not see The Revolution
scroll across your home screen
notifying you that it was posted three minutes ago,
and you will not be able to press the “like” icon to show all those
in your network that you are down with it.

The Revolution will not be remixed and Auto-Tuned on YouTube
or downloaded to your computer’s hard drive.
It will not be capable of rebooting in the sense you use the
term, and there will not be an “app” for it.
Apple will not be making and marketing “The Revolution, 2.0”
[which can also be purchased in white].
Sprite will not be doing a viral marketing ad campaign using
your favorite rapper’s latest mix tape release to speak on it,
So no, Drake will not have a verse, nor will he be singing the
hook on The Revolution.

The Revolution will also not feature cameo appearances from
J. Cole, Lil’ Wayne, Jay-Z, or Yasiin Bey.
Nor will Beyoncé or Rihanna dance to The Revolution.
The Revolution will not be posted on Fox.com and redirected to
americanidol.com so you can find out who it was not won by,
because, of course, you will not be able to text your vote through
AT&T to show your support for the cause.

The Revolution will not be cause enough for alarm
that Wolf Blitzer or Anderson Cooper will report it on CNN,
and The Revolution will not be blamed on the Left by Rush
Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly.
The Revolution will not be blamed on the Right by
James Carville or Keith Olbermann.
The Revolution will not be a punch line
for Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert.
The Revolution will not be TelePrompTed
to the President of the United States of America,
to the Divided States of America,
while sitting in front of their televisions and computers,
confused by the blue-grey lit lamps of illumination
illuminating an Illuminati conspiracy.

The Revolution will not involve Gaddafi stepping down, or
Egyptians rising up, or need America as its ally.
There may be a pain deep in the heart of Mother Africa,
or a cry from her over-aborted belly telling us that it is here, but
there will be no intervention on the parts of the other Mothers—
So Mother Earth and Mother Nature will sit by, the way some
Mothers now do, and watch while the Motherfuckers
do what they will,
but it’s pretty safe to say
The Revolution will not occur
under the influence of the Date Rape pill.

The Revolution will not be a friendly fuck, either,
and you will not be seduced to the soothing sounds of
Lady Antebellum or Esperanza Spalding,
or courted with a chilled glass of Moscato, a can of Four Loko,
a bottle of Ciroc, or shots of Patron.
The Revolution won’t concern itself with birth control pills,
Plan B, or the dropout rates of the kids
who have kids
while still kidding themselves
about their maturity.

The Revolution WILL be about purity,
and surely those who know,
will know it won’t be a revolution
strictly based
on Race or Faith.
The Revolution won’t be a
Holy War, Jihad, Ethnic Cleanse, or Barbecue
but certainly it will bother you
if you, ’til this point,
are not yet bothered.

The Revolution will not need to divide its time
between Racism, Sexism or Homophobia
because it has no time to discriminate against
Niggers, Bitches, Fags, Kikes, Coons, Cunts or Dykes.
The Revolution will not be televised.
The Revolution will not be tweeted.
The Revolution will not be on Facebook.
The Revolution will not have an Internet Protocol address.
The Revolution will not be preceded by a www [dot]
and followed by a [dot] com.

There won’t be cameras for The Revolution.
There won’t be Real Housewives of The Revolution.
There will be no Teen Moms of The Revolution.
There will be no First 48 or Intervention for The Revolution.
No Extreme Makeover: Revolution Edition,
or Survivor: Revolution.
The Revolution may not even have survivors.

As I remember it being told,
Gil Scott-Heron said
The Revolution would be live.

And Live and Direct from The Revolution,
I’ve come to report to you that:

The Revolution is here…
The Revolution is here…
The Revolution is here!
