Fifteen Minute Revolution - The Riot Before

A fifteen-minute revolution

In fifteen minutes answers clear

In fifteen minutes we’ll be better, smarter, wiser, stronger

And we’ll be without fear

A lie broadcast across a nation

A lie believed widely revered

The lie is an atom bomb solution in a drop less ocean

And we’re all tired and it sounds so sincere

So now we bury postage stamps under a roaring avalanche

Of plastic surgery

And cross out all the eyes of all the slow days of our lives

Evolve at record speed

Ask, Where did all the footsteps go?

The journey’s end before we ever leave

I saw a single spotless raindrop

Fall from a single darkened cloud

It joined a single river carving a weaving canyon

Through a thousand feet of ground

And now I think today is water

And now I think my life is sand

And I think it will take years to erode and shape this shoreline

That I am living into a better man
