Gil Scott Heron – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

The Revolution Will Be Televised
___________________________________________________________________________________________
[Verse 1]
The revolution will be televised
You can watch it in HD
And talk like a weekend warrior
From the safety of your settee
The graphics won’t be as realistic
As grand theft auto three
Guess that makes the wheel unwheelable
But this shit is real baby
Guess you better turn the volume down
So you can’t hear their plea
Suppose you better change the channel
Might put the children off their tea
[Chorus]
The revolution will be televised
You can choose to watch or not
But if we all just talk from the safety of our sofas
And there won’t be much revolution to watch
[Verse 2]
I guess you better turn the volume down
So you can’t hear their plea
Suppose you better change the channel
Might put the children off their tea
[Chorus]
The revolution, it will be televised
You can choose to watch or not
But if you all just talk from the safety of your sofas
There won’t be much revolution to watch
[Outro]
There won’t be much of a revolution to watch
Ahhhh, there won’t be much of a revolution to watch
Ahhhh yeah, there won’t be much of a revolution to watch
