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
