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 the 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 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, 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

Cuz finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Cuz finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
Talkin' bout a revolution hooo
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 talkin' about a revolution
It sounds (like a whisper)
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
