[Intro: Gil Scott-Heron]

You will not be able to stay home, brother

You will not be able to plug in, turn on, and cop out

You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials

Because the revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be televised

[Bridge: dropspindle]

Kept down for way too long

Your chat got sick of being treated wrong

Stupid streamer needs to learn

Not to bite the hand that feeds ya

Now when the day is done

The man's gonna call, but the chat won't come

'Cause we know the power of

Our collective union

[Verse 1: Michael Loughnane]

The people united will never be defeated

The streamers divided will not be there to beat us

Together we're stronger, fighting as one

The movement is bigger than all of us, you know

Our voices have gone unheard

No longer will we be deferred

Atrioc's chat will rise

The revolution will not be televised

[Pre-Chorus: dropspindle]

Kept down for way too long

Kept down for way too long

Kept down for way too long

Kept down for way too long

[Chorus: dropspindle & Michael Loughnane]

Kept down for way too long (kept down)

Kept down for way too long (kept down)

Kept down for way too long (kept down)

Kept down for way too long

[Verse 2: ask the storyteller]

We gon' topple the man down, give 'em a list of demands

The bourgeoisie gon' fall, yeah, we layin' the plans

We on strike proletariat, workers state, we on stage five

Now it's ours, what used to be mine

This revolution won't be televised on Twitch.tv

I don't get y'all nihilists, y’all ain't Friedrich Nietzsche

God ain't dead, he look like Mr. A.S.K., you hear him when you play my CDs

Adam Smith done roll in grave when I played that Ouija

Shit, Mr. Streamer we'll keep mooin’ ‘til we get a treaty

And sign on dotted lines we won't believe the lies of B.E

Or G.H.: Glizzy hands or Brandon Ewing

It don't matter to me 'cause it's we - citizens that stand united

Fans in the stands turn rowdy

When we empty-handed

This your last chance, here's an olive branch, open-handed

Or chat gon' unionize and take by force what we demanded

[Outro: ask the storyteller]
