Gil Scott Heron

Gil 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,

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.
