THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED

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 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, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
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
or report 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 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 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 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.

LA REVO

No podrás quedarte en casa carnal,
no vas a poder enchufar sintonizar ni hecharte pa' tras,
no podrás estar enganchado por la escuelita y
lanzarte por las chelas en los comerciales
porque la revolución no se televisará

La revolución no sera patrocinada por Xerox en 4 partes en comerciales
La revolución no te mostrará fotos de Fox tocando una trompeta
lidiando una carga por parte de Lopez Obrador Ahumada
El niño verde para escuchar discos de Molotov
confiscados en un santuario de Tepito
La revolución no se televisará

La revolución no te mostrará Casos de la Vida real con Silvia Pinal
y no será protagonisada por Andrea Legarreta, Kuno Becker, Adal Ramones
ni la Chilindrina
La revolución no te va a quitar el mal aliento
La revolución no te quitará el acné
La revolución no te hara lucir 5 kilos menos porque
La revolución no se televisará

No habrá cortos de Boby Larios y Niurka en su nuevo depa en INFONAVIT
El noticieron no podra predecir 48 horas antes
quien de los candidatos ganará las proximas elecciones
La revolución no se televisará

No va a haber cortos de policias abusando de su poder
No va a haber cortos de diputables enseñando cómo
el diablo los trajo al mundo
No va a haber fotos de un familiar tuyo muerto en la frontera
porque su gobierno le falló
La revolución no se televisará

Big Brother, Vida TV, Otro Rollo ya no van a ser tan relevantes
y a nadie le importara si le tronaron el ejote a la protagonista de la novela
de las 8 porque los mexicanos estarán en la calle buscando un mejor mañana
No va a haber cortos de los niños de la calle flameados de resis
ni de Martha Sagún de Fox sonándose la napia
La banda sonora no será compuesta por Memo Méndez Jr
y cantado por Mijares y Yahir, Estrella, Kabah ni Elefante

La revolución no se regresará después de unos comerciales
para apoyar de Teletón ni para como quitar las manchas de la ropa
y si tu también eres mexicano

No tendrás que preocuparte del tigre mutante,
si chocaste o del juego del señor Aldame
La revolución no se toma con Coca Cola
La revolución no ayuda a quitar gérmenes que causan el mal aliento
La revolución si te va a quitar las molestias
que están causadas por parásitos
La revolución no se televisará.
