When unemployed people are told to not even apply because they don't want to hire the unemployed, you BET it's time for a revolution! I've got hard working friends who haven't found work in over a year... looking in every sector. Sorry you're over qualified, oh you would just be bored and move on, now it's oh you've been out of work how long? Or told to get help, they need to be willing to live below the poverty line. Yup... time for a revolution alright. Because people need to eat!
Tracy is talking about the "poor" people getting theirs, as in a livable wage where people don't have to live in poverty if they have a job. Also, I believe this song came out when jobs were in a down turn as in finding one, and this song was written as a way for people to rise up and get theirs as in a job that gave people what they wanted.
Somebody please explain the lyrics. "and take what's theirs" who are the poor taking their what from whom?
The government does not have any money to give. Are the lyrics referring to take from the taxpayers and the hard working businesses ? If so, they'll have to wait a lifetime.
this is so slowed down. trying to keep the revolution down...... no chance... ill just listen to it without it being doctored,,,,, people will rise up and take whats theirs alright
america do not fear a revolution when the time is here to move against the wars we created for profit, the systematic degrading of society through pipelining the opium trade from afghanistan to here, distroying the middleclass and our educational system. we were killed during the 60s fighting for rights and to end vietnam. the young people need to listen well and runrunrunrun as the song goes and not fear fear itself. enjoy the unemployment lines.yiu cant trust the right or the left.
LISTEN TO TRACY'S WORDS...THIS WAS MANY YEARS AGO!
This may be our last chance to make this revolution happen!...The crooked politicians and banksters have stolen our livelihoods and mortgaged our children's future...If we don't fight for our freedom now, we will never be able to break free of this financial bondage.
IS IT TIME?! Go to USRevolution2 (dot com) and get your flag of the Second American Revolution. They were recently all over the tax day rallies in Boston and D.C. They will also soon appear in Bob Basso’s new Thomas Paine videos and on Showtime’s “Weeds” show. They look exactly like the flag of Betsy Ross with a Roman numeral “II” in the center of the 13 stars. This flag is now in all 50 states and spreading from porch to porch. They make great gifts for family, friends and recovering Liberals.
