#TalkinBoutARevolution by #TracyChapman (1988)

"Don't ya know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Don't ya 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 the unemployment lines
Sittin' around waitin' for a promotion

Don't ya know?
They'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 ya 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, 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 no..."
