《The Revolution Will Not Be Televised》歌词

[00:00:00] The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - Gil Scott-Heron

[00:00:12] You will not be able to stay home brother

[00:00:17] You will not be able to plug in turn on and cop out

[00:00:21] You will not be able to lose yourself on skag

[00:00:23] And skip out for beer during commercials

[00:00:26] Because the revolution will not be televised

[00:00:31] The revolution will not be televised

[00:00:32] The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox

[00:00:35] In 4 parts without commercial interruptions

[00:00:36] The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon

[00:00:39] Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell

[00:00:42] General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat hog maws

[00:00:44] Confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary

[00:00:47] The revolution will not be televised

[00:00:51] The revolution will not be brought to you by the

[00:00:53] Schaefer Award Theater and will not star Natalie Woods

[00:00:56] And Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia

[00:01:02] The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal

[00:01:04] The revolution will not get rid of the nubs

[00:01:07] The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner

[00:01:09] Because the revolution will not be televised Brother

[00:01:13] There will be no pictures of you and Willie May

[00:01:15] Pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run

[00:01:18] Or trying to slide that color TV into a stolen ambulance

[00:01:21] NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32

[00:01:24] Or report from 29 districts

[00:01:26] The revolution will not be televised

[00:01:30] There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down

[00:01:32] Brothers on the instant replay

[00:01:34] There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down

[00:01:36] Brothers on the instant replay

[00:01:37] There will be no pictures of Whitney Young

[00:01:38] Being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process

[00:01:41] There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy Wilkens

[00:01:43] Strolling through Watts in a red black and green

[00:01:46] Liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving

[00:01:49] For just the proper occasion

[00:01:52] Green Acres The Beverly Hillbillies and Hooter ville Junction

[00:01:55] Will no longer be so damned relevant

[00:01:57] And women will not care if Dick finally gets down with Jane

[00:01:59] On search for tomorrow because black people

[00:02:01] Will be in the street looking for a brighter day

[00:02:03] The revolution will not be televised

[00:02:08] There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news

[00:02:10] And no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists

[00:02:12] And Jackie Onassis blowing her nose

[00:02:15] The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb

[00:02:18] Francis Scott Key nor sung by Glen Campbell Tom Jones

[00:02:21] Johnny Cash Englebert Humperdink or the Rare Earth

[00:02:24] The revolution will not be televised

[00:02:27] The revolution will not be right back after a message

[00:02:29] About a white tornado white lightning or white people

[00:02:32] You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom

[00:02:34] The tiger in your tank or the giant in your toilet bowl

[00:02:37] The revolution will not go better with Coke

[00:02:39] The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath

[00:02:42] The revolution will put you in the driver's seat

[00:02:45] The revolution will not be televised will not be televised

[00:02:48] Will not be televised will not be televised

[00:02:51] The revolution will be no re-run brothers

[00:02:52] The revolution will be live
