Lyrics

[Refrain]
The revolution will not be on social media
[Verse 1]
You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to be login, click on and scroll out
You will not be able to lose yourself on Tik Tok
And catch highlights from the war on our feed
Because the revolution will not be on social media
The revolution will not be on social, not be on social, not be on social, not be on social
Not be on social, not be on social, not be on social, not be on social
Not be on social, not be on social, not be on social, not be on social
[Refrain]
The revolution will not be on social media
[Verse 2]
The revolution will not be a meme
It will not feature influencers with product codes
Or a vial trend where everyone dances for change
The revolution will not be on social media
The revolution will not be re-posted
It will not be liked, shared or commented on
It will not come with filters to make it more appealing
It won't be sponsored by energy drinks
The revolution will not be on social media
[Refrain]
The revolution will not be on social media
[Verse 3]
There will be no Instagram story updates or Facebook status updates rants to explain it all
The revolution will not break in while you wait for the next Youtube ad to play
You will not see it go viral, you will not receive notifications
The revolution will happen in real life
Out in the clubs, in the hearts, in the minds
The revolution will not be on social media
[Refrain]
The revolution will not be on social media
