Lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't you know
They'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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
I'm talkin' 'bout a revolution, no, no
Finally the tables are starting to turn
I'm talkin' 'bout a revolution, no, no
[Verse 3]
I'm 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
[Outro]
Don't you know
We're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
I'm talkin' 'bout a revolution, no, no
Don't you know
We're talking about a revolution?
