Can't you see by the look in our eyes that
The rock revolution won't be televised
When she reached maturity according to her father
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 she played them in the park and she sang,
"I will come clean"
Cause the cleaner I get is the messiest yet
Her name and music were becoming known across the continental
United States for her message and her activism
The FBI even had a file with her name on it for desturbing the peace
and the security of the nation
Can't you see by the look in our eyes that
The rock revolution won't be televised
And its truth so it comes as no surprise
that the rock revolution wont be televised
