Talkin' Bout a Revolution - Tracy Chapman

Don’t you know you’re talking about a revolution

It sounds like a whisper

Don’t you know they’re talking 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 unemployment lines

Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don’t you know you’re talking about 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, run

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

run

Cause Finally the tables are starting to turn

Talking about a revolution

Yes, Finally the tables are starting to turn

Talking about a revolution oh no Talking about a revolution oh no 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

Yes, Finally the tables are starting to turn

Talking about a revolution oh no Talking about a revolution oh no Talking about a revolution oh no
