Artist Gil Scott-Heron
Album Pieces of a Man

Lyrics

作词 : Scott-Heron
You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by
Xerox In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of
Nixon blowing a bugle and leading a charge by
John Mitchell,
General Abrams and
Mendel Rivers to eat hog maws confiscated from a
Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award
Theatre and will not star
Natalie Woods and
Steve McQueen or
Bullwinkle and
Julia. The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, the revolution will not be televised,
Brother. There will be no pictures of you and
Willie Mays pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run, or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 on reports from 29 districts.
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
Whitney Young being run out of
Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of
Roy Wilkens strolling through
Watts in a
Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the right occasion.
Green Acres,
The Beverly
Hillbillies, and
Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so god damned relevant, and women will not care if
Dick finally screwed
Jane on Search for
Tomorrow because
Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and
Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by
Jim Webb or
Francis Scott
Key, nor sung by
Glen Campbell,
Tom Jones,
Johnny Cash or
Englebert
Humperdink.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with
Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's 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.
