the new

The New revolution
Has proven
You can make vodka out of anything
You can 80 proof Brangelina's bathwater
Distill a dram of Fran Drescher
You can buy and sell anything

All the news heads are talking Syria
It's very now
Your grandfather wants to know why they didn't actively deploy
Last year
But that is so last year
Right now there is talk of arms
And handshakes
And regions
Roundtable discussions at the Vanderbilt estate
This is the new face of last year

Tonight, fireside
A request
An earnest attempt at rally
Overstanding, understated concern
On what we can know
With limits
Put your foot up on the coffee table
That's your coffee table
Listen to reason
This is the new levity

Before nine
We'll wrap things up
Get dessert ready
You can make coffee
Or continue drinking wine
I don't care
The new wine doesn't steal California water
It bleeds the Rhone region of France
Just so you're educated
In the know on this subject
It's of global significance
And I don't want you to feel stupid or foolish
Foolish is the new dead
Dead is the new poor
Poor is the new silent treatment
So, shhh
