Talkin' Bout a Revolution

Lyrics

Don't you know
 They're talking about a revolution?
 It sounds like a whisper
 Don't you know
 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 the unemployment lines
 Sitting around waiting for a promotion
 Don't you know
 Talking 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
 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
 I've been 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
 Talking 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, oh, no
 Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no
 Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no
 
 Don't you know
 They're talking about a revolution?
 It sounds like a whisper
 Don't you know
 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 the unemployment lines
 Sitting around waiting for a promotion
 Don't you know
 Talking 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
 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
 I've been 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
 Talking 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, oh, no
 Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no
 Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no
