talkin' bout a 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

don't you know

talkin' 'bout 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 you know

'cause finally the tables are starting to turn

talkin' bout a revolution

finally the tables are starting to turn

talkin' bout a revolution

talkin' bout a revolution

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
