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
They're 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
You better run, run, run
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run
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
Don't you know
They're talkin' bout
a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
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
Talkin' bout a revolution
Poor people gonna rise up
