Live

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
