when i am king you will be first against the wall -- "paranoid android", radiohead

when the revolution comes, we will all be asleep in our beds. we will be asleep in times square, we will be asleep at the wheel, we will be asleep in our cubicles and on airplanes. we have slept so well, beloved, but soon it will be time to wake.

when the revolution comes, it will be quiet. it will be the word "no", whispered at first. it will be a routine changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. it will be an easy, purple dawn. it will be the rhythm of the iron wheels on wooden tracks, but not the whistle, not the warning, not yet.
