You won't be able to stay at home, brother, you won't be able to connect, get excited, or run away, you won't be able to waste time making pears, grabbing a beer when the commercial comes on, because the revolution won't be broadcast on TV.
There won't be images of cops shooting brothers with instant replay, there won't be images of Whitney Young being chased and driven out of Harlem on a train with a last-minute procedure...
The revolution won't go better with CocaCola, the revolution doesn't fight the germs that cause bad breath, the revolution will put you in the driver's seat...
The revolution won't be shown on television, it won't be shown on television, it won't be shown on television, it won't be shown on television. The revolution won't be a replay, brothers. The revolution will be live.
