The Revolution Will Be Televised (Live)

歌詞

Pictures of dying going nationwide While they're cold and hungry on the streets outside Broken promises and broken homes And they're all queuing up for the government loan Pledging your millions off a TV screen While the shit on your doorstep remains unseen Who said charity begins at home?
