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 the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know they’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
I said you better run
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution, no
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 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
I said you better run
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution oh no
