Don't you know

they're talkin' 'bout a revolution

it sounds

like a whisper

don't you know

they're talkin' 'bout 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 are gonna rise up

and get their share

poor people are 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

'cause 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

you're talkin' 'bout a revolution

it sounds

like a whisper

and finally the tables

are starting to turn

talkin' 'bout a revolution

it's 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
