1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Nike will tell you when you can have half time
All late comers will get ten pound fines
A nil all draw will have sudden death
Is there any chance of an Asian ref?
God Save The Queen before each league game
Twenty quid a pint, are you glad you came?
This revolution will not be authorised
And the toilets will still not be sanitized

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Your seat will have a remote control
You’ll watch instant replays on your own console
You’ll be texted the team on the way to the match
The pitch is a mix made out of straw grass and thatch
Mobile phones and smoking will be banned
Where you sit will be called the grandstand
This revolution will not be authorised
And the toilets will still not be sanitized

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 All hotdogs will be made from quorn
Only Adidas boots will be worn
Only one Englishman per team
The half time music will be by Tangerine Dream
At the end of the game you’ll all say a prayer
For a safe journey home for all who are there
This revolution will not be authorised
And the tiolets will still not be sanitized

Notes

This is a blatant rip off of one of my favourite poems by one of my fave poets. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Gil Scott-Heron.

The words are mine and are just put there to make you think what could happen to the beautiful game as we know it good or bad, if we are not careful.

peace.

kev.
