Lyrics Talkin' Bout a Revolution - Tracy Chapman

Talkin' Bout a Revolution

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
Cause Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
Yes, 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
Yes, 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
