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
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
Yes, finally the tables are
Starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin' 'bout a revolution
Oh, I 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 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
