Just Another Headline

Incessant blabber, opinions dime a dozen
Millions more watch glued to the tube
Ah yes the new age makes it interactive
They say revolutions have taken shape through the networks

It ain't gonna change one says in his Saturday night stupor
We must do something says another
The others nod and quickly get back to their tipples
Well destinies of nations have been decided in elite drawing rooms

The show is over, so is the party
Each gets back to his life
Resilience they say, but we all know its not
The reality speaks through the lives of the millions

Someday its going to prick
Someday I will stand up for something
Someday will see the awakening of the collective conscience
Someday, yes someday, I tell myself

She gets up goes to work
Her reality has not changed
Oh yes, there are a million people talking about it
Talking about a revolution

Its a new day
Talk was cheap and memories short
Alone in her battle, she marches on
Fighting everyday not to become
Just another headline.
