Talkin' Bout A Revolution Songtext
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
Sittin' around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know
Talking bout 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' about 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
Sittin' around waitin' 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
'Cause 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
