This revolution will not be televised
It is live
Right in front of our eyes
But we are blind
To the headlines that flood the nightly news
Seeing guns in the hands
Of these young mothers sons
Watching the public officials speak
With the look of defeat
Because they have failed
To stop the epidemic
Of these young people stealing
Each others lives before
They know what it really means to be alive
Invincible they think they are
But we as a people have failed
To set the bar
All they want is fast money
And the most expensive car
Young people today are troubled
All over the crime rate has doubled
But we are blind
To the headlines that flood the nightly news
Right in front of our eyes
This revolution is not televised
It is live
