    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
