Talking about a Revolution (Tracy Chapman 1988)



Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sound like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It's 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 sound 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...(+9)
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...(+9)

And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin'about revolution

Yes finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' about revolution oh no

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 sound like a whisper

And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' about revolution

Yes finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' about revolution oh no
Talkin' about revolution oh no
Talkin' about revolution oh no
