Don't you know?
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know?
They're talkin' 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?
They're talkin' 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?
Oh I said you better 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?
They're talkin' 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
