Tracy Chapman — TaIkin Bout a Revolution

[Hook 1] Don't you know? They're talkin' 'bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper [Hook 1] Don't you know? They're talkin' about a revolution It sounds like a whisper [Verse 1] 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 [Hook 1] Don't you know? They're talkin' 'bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper [Hook 2] Poor people gonna rise up And get their share Poor people gonna rise up And take what's theirs [Bridge] Don't you know you better 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 [Chorus] '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 [Verse 1] 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 [Hook 1] Don't you know? They're talkin' 'bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper [Chorus] And 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 [Outro] Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
