Don't you know
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing
in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of
those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don't you know
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs
Don't you know
You better run, run, run, run, run,
run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run, run, run, run,
run, run, run, run, run, run
'Cause finally the tables
are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables
are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh
While they're standing
in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of
those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don't you know
Talking about a revolution
It sounds like a wisper
And finally the tables
are starting to turn
Talkin' about a revolution.
Yes, finally the tables
are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
