Lyrics Tracy Chapman

Tracy Chapman

Talkin' 'bout a Revolution

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
