The Grovelbot Will NOT be Televised!

[ltfranklin]

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,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the Grovelbot will not be televised.

The Grovelbot will not be televised.
The Grovelbot will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The Grovelbot will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The Grovelbot will not be televised.

The Grovelbot will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The Grovelbot will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The Grovelbot will not get rid of the nubs.
The Grovelbot will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the Grovelbot will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The Grovelbot will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The Grovelbot will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The Grovelbot will not be televised.

The Grovelbot will not be right back after a message
bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The Grovelbot will not go better with Coke.
The Grovelbot will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The Grovelbot will put you in the driver's seat.

The Grovelbot will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The Grovelbot will be no re-run brothers;
The Grovelbot will be live.



By the way, Grovelbot stole this from Gill Scott Heron then did a mass search/replace! Up against the wall, Grovelbot!
