It's Time

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - Soul Rebels

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

Skip out for beer during commercials

Because 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 spiro agnew 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 because the revolution will not be televised

There will be no 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 proper occasion

Green acres the beverly hillbillies and hooterville

Junction will no longer be so damned relevant and

Women will not care if dick finally gets down with

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

Francis scott key nor sung by glen campbell tom

Jones johnny cash englebert humperdink or the rare earth

The revolution will not be right back after a message

Bbout 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 be televised

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 be no re run brothers

The revolution will be live
