rock revolution lyrics

can't you see by the look in our eyes
that the rock revolution won't be televised.


that the rock revolution won't be televised.
when she reached maturity
according to her father
can't you see by the look in our eyes
she was given
his old acoustic guitar

she taught herself a bunch of chords
and wrote songs about the oppression of the working class

and sang them in the park.
she sang
'cause the cleaner i get is the messiest yet
i will come clean
i will come clean
'cause the cleaner i get is the messiest yet

her and her music were becoming known
for her message and activism
across the continental united states
with her name on it for disturbing the peace
the f.b.i. even had a file
and the security of the nation.

can't you see by the look in our eyes
that the rock revolution won't be televised.
(x9)

that the rock revolution won't be televised.
can't you see by the look in our eyes
and it's truth, so it comes as no surprise
that the rock revolution won't be televised.
