The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

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, the tiger in your tank, or the giant in
your toilet bowl
The revolution will not go better with Coke
The revolution will not fight 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
revolution will be live”


– Gil Scott-Heron, An excerpt from The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
