lyrics

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED (REVISITED)


You will not be able to stay home, brothers and sisters.
You will not be able to tune in, turn on
and cop out.
You will not be able to find yourself
Eyes wide shut watching CNN….
The revolution will not be televised.


The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Intel
Streamin without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Bernie.
Feelin the burn, the time to turn
Thoughts into actions, No, shot full of retractions…..
that movement's redirected, that anger deflected.


The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by
Amazon, Netflix, Pandora's box tight.
Blinded by the Kardashians, real house wives fight right?
The revolution will not check your male privilege, no
Won't shine a light on all that's white, no, not the other...
Because the revolution will not be televised, brother.

The revolution will not be right back
After the station break, another take on fake
You will not have to worry about those side effects
Of your happy pill, the hole to fill, and your whitening strips.
The revolution will not go better with Coke,
Will not be super sized, stylized,
Or come free with shipping and handling.
The revolution will not be televised


There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Freddy Grey being
driven to death or Eric Garner choked for cigarettes
There will be no slow motion shots of little Treyvon Martin
Killed for running while black, daring to be black
There will be no footage of black on black kindness.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not flip your vote.
The revolution will not feed you lies, fruity pebbles,
hot pockets or fast food.
Will not fantasize with you
Your fast car journey
into one man mountain paradise waving the banner
for BP, Shell and Exxon…... on the road to nowhere.
The revolution will put you in the drivers seat!

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
Will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers,
The Revolution - will - be

LIVE!
