Songtexte Something in the Air / The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - LABELLE

OOoo, there's something in the air
OOoo, there's something in the air
Ooh, we got to get it
We got to get it together
We got to get it, y'all
We got to get it together
Right now, right now, right now, right now
Right now, right now, right now, right now
Call out the instigators
There's something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Don't you know the revolution is here
And you know that it's right
And you know that it's right
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
And you know that it's right
Ooh, we got to get it, yeah
We got to get it together
Oh, we got to get it, y'all
We got to get it together
Right now, right now, right now, right now
Right now, right now, right now, right now

The revolution will not be televised, no
You will not be able to stay home, brothers
You will not be able to tune in, turn on or cop out
Because the revolution will not be televised, no
You will not be able to lose yourself on scag, nor
Skip out for beers during the commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not star Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen
The revolution ain't gonna star Bullwinkle and Julia neither, no no
There will be no pictures of the pigs shooting down
Brothers on the instant replay
Because the revolution will not be televised, mm mm mm mm
There will be no pictures of Roy Wilkins strolling through Watts
In a red, green and black liberation jump suit
That he'd been saving for a proper occasion
And he won't be wearing a process either
Because the revolution will not be televised
There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mae pushing
That shopping cart down the block, no no
We will not be right back after a message from a white tornado
Or white lightnin', y'all, or white folks in your toilet bowl
And things will not go better with Coke, oh no!
Hooterville and Petticoat Junction will not be so goddamn relevant
And women will not care if Jane got screwed on "Search for Tomorrow"
Because black folks will be in the streets
Looking for a brighter day
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal
The revolution won't get rid of the nubs
The revolution won't make you five pounds thinner
Because the revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised
I said not be televised
It just won't be televised
The revolution will be no re-runs, sisters and brothers
The revolution is gon' be live

Right now, right now, right now, right now
Right now, right now, right now, right now
We got to get it together
Right now, right now, right now
Ooh, we've got to get it, y'all
We got to get it together
Oh, we got to get it, y'all
We got to get it together
Right now, right now, right now, right now
Right now, right now, right now, right now
Right this minute
Right now, right now, right now, right now
Right now, right now, right now, right now
