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 Sitting around waiting for a promotion Don't you know We're talking 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 Don't you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run 'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn I'm talking 'bout a revolution, no no Finally the tables are starting to turn I'm talking 'bout a revolution, oh no 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 We're talking about a revolution? It sounds like a whisper And finally the tables are starting to turn Talking 'bout a revolution, oh no Don't you know We're talking about a revolution?
