[00:00.00] Cool and steady and easy
[00:08.25]It makes them like it
[00:09.99]What?
[00:11.28]The Revolution Was Postponed Because of Rain
[00:14.85]The underlying
[00:15.90]immediate
[00:16.74]political
[00:17.55]socio- economic
[00:18.90]and trigger mechanism causes
[00:20.64]were all in place when
[00:22.62]some nee-gro or the other got hungry
[00:25.83]had to stop at the McDonald's
[00:28.47]had to get on the line
[00:29.91]with the new trainee cashier
[00:31.65]"uhh, where's the button for the fries?"
[00:35.10]so we missed the bus...
[00:37.50]Then the leader couldn't find his keys
[00:39.81]didn't want some poor ass moving
[00:41.76]his brand new 20" and VCR
[00:43.92]out his living room on the shoulders.
[00:46.47]It was too late when the locksmith came
[00:49.32]Then our demo expert Willie Blew got arrested
[00:52.35]came out with his head hanging under his hoody
[00:54.99]" Didn't know they started doing that
[00:56.73]for jumping the turnstiles," he said.
[00:58.71]" How many times must we tell you -
[01:01.68]Don't.. get.. caught."
[01:03.96]We voted against shootin' him on the spot
[01:06.75]In the winter we were all depressed
[01:08.70]so we leaned our guns against the sofas
[01:11.10]and listened instead to Tim Tim Tiree
[01:12.96]singing about his dysfunctions:
[01:20.97]Cool and steady and easy
[01:22.95]It makes them like it
[01:24.63]What?
[01:24.99]"Sometimes I wonder if ah'll ever be free
[01:28.23]free of the sins of my brutish daddee
[01:30.45]Like the cheating, the stealing, the drinking, and the beating". . .
[01:35.88]The weatherman said the 17th would be sunshine
[01:38.61]and it wouldn't be too hot -
[01:40.29]Tim Tim Tiree doesn't like sweatin'
[01:42.69]but that night the weatherman came on crying
[01:45.57]saying he didn't control the weather
[01:47.73]that God was real
[01:49.86]that he's lucky He, God, didn't strike him, the weatherman, with lightning
[01:53.79]for taking the credit sometimes
[01:55.86]and that he, the weatherman, was in no way responsible
[01:58.77]for the hurricane coming
[02:00.39]and that we, the viewers, should
[02:01.83]pray Jesus into our hearts
[02:03.39]before it was too late.
[02:05.91]Superbowl Sunday was out
[02:08.34]all the women wanted
[02:09.66]to see the game
[02:11.07]and the men were pissed
[02:12.33]at their insensitivity
[02:15.78]The 20th was supposed to be a definite
[02:18.06]we looked for some Bastille to storm
[02:20.43]didn't find any
[02:21.87]settled on the armory instead
[02:24.03]before they moved the homeless in...
[02:25.89]" We'll bum-rush it anyway," I said
[02:28.62]" It smells like a collection
[02:30.81]of a thousand farts in there," they said
[02:33.93]So we waited for the approval of the city
[02:36.06]contract to build a Bastille
[02:38.04]which set the revolution back five years.
[02:46.17]Cool and steady and easy
[02:48.21]It makes them like it
[03:12.45]What?
[03:12.54]Peace wanted to start the revolution on Tuesday
[03:15.18]She was in a pissed-off mood
[03:17.07]her tax return didn't come in time for the rent
[03:19.95]But they showed the We Are the World video
[03:22.23]on cable that evening
[03:23.64]and we all held hands
[03:25.56]and cried to stop from laughing
[03:27.84]and our anger subsided
[03:30.33]Looking back, it could've been a plot
[03:32.25]but there are more substantive plots to expose
[03:34.86]than the We Are the World conspiracy
[03:38.22]Now we wait for the rain to stop
[03:40.59]All forces on the alert
[03:42.63]some in Brooklyn basements
[03:44.67]packed in between booming speakers
[03:47.49]listening to Shabba Ranks and Arrested Development
[03:50.49]bogling and doing the east coast stomp
[03:52.86]gargling with Bacardi and Brown Cow
[03:55.26]breaking that monotony with slow movements -
[03:59.22]slow, hip-grinding movements
[04:02.34]with the men breathing in the women's ears to
[04:04.83]Earth Wind & Fire's Reasons
[04:07.26]and wondering what the weather will be like
[04:10.59]next weekend.
