[00:12.234] You will not be able to stay home, brother.
[00:17.307] You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
[00:21.526] You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and
[00:23.915] Skip out for beer during commercials,
[00:25.648] Because the revolution will not be televised.
[00:30.854] The revolution will not be televised.
[00:32.878] The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
[00:35.351] In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
[00:37.694] The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
[00:39.947] Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
[00:42.189] Mitchell, General Abrams and Mendel Rivers to eat
[00:45.228] Hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
[00:47.885] The revolution will not be televised.
[00:51.827] The revolution will not be brought to you by the
[00:53.596] Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
[00:55.964] Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
[01:02.501] The revolution will not give your mouth *** appeal.
[01:04.824] The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
[01:07.192] The revolution will not make you look five pounds
[01:09.398] Thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.
[01:13.751] There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays
[01:15.592] Pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
[01:17.909] Or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
[01:21.312] NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
[01:24.395] On reports from 29 districts.
[01:26.172] The revolution will not be televised.
[01:30.470] There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
[01:32.120] Brothers in the instant replay.
[01:33.658] There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
[01:35.615] Brothers in the instant replay.
[01:36.756] There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
[01:38.460] Run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
[01:41.392] There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy Wilkens
[01:44.216] Strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
[01:46.429] Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
[01:48.752] For just the right occasion.
[01:51.896] Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction
[01:55.276] will no longer be so god damned relevant, and
[01:57.503] Women will not care if **** finally screwed
[01:59.541] Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
[02:01.633] Will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
[02:03.801] The revolution will not be televised.
[02:08.121] There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock News
[02:10.282] and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
[02:15.820] The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or
[02:17.891] Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
[02:21.188] Jones, Johnny Cash or Englebert Humperdink.
[02:24.268] The revolution will not be televised.
[02:27.440] The revolution will not be right back
[02:28.857] After a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
[02:32.218] You will not have to worry about a dove in your
[02:34.111] Bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
[02:37.509] The revolution will not go better with Coke.
[02:39.627] The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
[02:42.650] The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.
[02:45.381] The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
[02:48.589] Will not be televised, will not be televised.
[02:50.942] The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
[02:52.956] The revolution will be live.
