Official Video for 'Children of the Revolution', by T.Rex
Filmed in October 1972 in London, Marc is using his newly-acquired Veleno custom aluminium guitar.
Featuring the classic T.Rex line-up of Marc Bolan, Mickey Finn, Steve Currie and Bill Legend, the anthemic 'Children of the Revolution' was the third single on Bolan’s T.Rex label.
Released on the 8th September 1972, it reached number two in the top 40. Now restored to HD quality, It is one of Bolan’s most enduring songs and the title phrase is frequently referenced in the English language.

T.Rex – the creation of Marc Bolan, the band’s leader, creative director and sole song-writer – was born out of the late-1960s’ hippy counter-culture. Bolan’s road to superstardom took him from 18-year-old folk singer to proto-punk guitar thrasher in John’s Children, via the blissed-out Tolkien-washed mysticism of Tyrannosaurus Rex to fully-fledged Glam Rock idol in T.Rex. Following their breakthrough 1970 hit, Ride A White Swan, T.Rex became the biggest pop phenomenon of the new decade, scoring chart-topping, award-winning singles and LPs across Europe, the Far East, and Australia, while finding success in North America via the top-10 single Get It On (Bang A Gong) and hit albums Electric Warrior and The Slider. Decades after Bolan’s tragically early death, the influence of T.Rex is still felt across the music world. His status as one of the leading British music stars has recently been recognised with the induction of T.Rex into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Lyrics:

Well you can bump and grind
It is good for your mind
Well you can twist and shout
Let it all hang out

But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, no, no

Well you can Terraplane
In the falling rain
I drive a Rolls-Royce
'Cause it's good for my voice

But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, no, no

Yeah

But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No way!
