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

Oh I said, you better
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run

As finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh

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
You're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper

And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
As finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
