"Children of the Revolution" is a song by English rock band T. Rex, written by Marc Bolan. It was a UK number 2 hit single in September 1972. The song broke their sequence of four official single releases all reaching number 1 on the UK Singles Chart ("Hot Love", "Get It On", "Telegram Sam" and "Metal Guru", although unofficial releases "Jeepster" and "Debora" had only reached number 2 and 7 respectively), although it did reach the summit position on the New Musical Express and Melody Maker charts, becoming the last T. Rex single to do so on any UK chart.
