Talkin' 'bout a Revolution

Tracy Chapman

Don't you know  
They're talkin' about 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' about 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, run

Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, 
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run 

  Cuz finally the tables are starting to turn  
Talkin' bout a revolution  
  Cuz finally the tables are starting to turn  
Talkin' bout a revolution  hold on
Talkin' bout a revolution  hooo
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' about a revolution  
It sounds (like a whisper)
  And finally the tables are starting to turn  
Talkin' bout a revolution  
  Yes finally the tables are starting to turn  
Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
