Talking' Bout A Revolution Lyrics - Tracy Chapman

Don't you know 

They're talkin' 'bout 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' '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' bout a revolution 

Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn 

Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no 

Talkin' bout a revolution, oh 

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
