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, 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

`Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin` bout a revolution
Yes, 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 the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
