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
