Talkin' Bout A Revolution Lyrics & Video

Don't you know you're talking about a revolution

It sounds like a whisper

Don't you know they're 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 unemployment lines

Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know you're talking about a revolution

It sounds like a whisper

Poor people are gonna rise up

And get their share

Poor people are 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, run

Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Finally the tables are starting to turn

Talking about a revolution

Finally the tables are starting to turn

Talking about a revolution oh no

Talking about a revolution oh no

While they're standing in the welfare lines

Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation

Wasting time in unemployment lines

Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know you're talking about a revolution

It sounds like a whisper

And finally the tables are starting to turn

Talking about a revolution

Finally the tables are starting to turn

Talking about a revolution oh no

Talking about a revolution oh no

Talking about a revolution oh no
