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
they're 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
oh i said you better
run run run run run run
finally the tables are starting to turn
talking about a revolution
finally the tables are starting to turn
talking about a revolution oh no
talking about a revolution oh
while they're standing
in the welfare lines
crying at the doorsteps of
those armies of salvation
wasting time in unemployment lines
sitting around waiting for a promotion
don't you know
you're talking about a revolution
it sounds like a whisper
and finally the tables
are starting to turn
talking about a revolution
finally the tables are starting to turn
talking about a revolution oh no
talking about a revolution oh no
talking about a revolution oh noooo
