revolution

don't you know

they're talkin' bout 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 the unemployment lines

sitting around waiting for a promotion

poor people gonna rise up

and get their share

poor people gonna rise up

and take what's theirs

don't you know

you better run

run

run. oh i said you better

run

run

run. finally the tables are starting to turn

talkin' bout a revolution
