[stoptherot1]

It astounds me how 14 people have disliked this. They must have done it by accident.

[belisarius1453]

Time is now

[stoptherot1]

@belisarius1453 The time has been now for a long time. Revolution is a builder. Power to the people :)

[OMGwaffles123]

Her voice reminds me of Paul Rogers'.

[krikos81]

Run run run...!!!

[JAKEHARRIS281]

This is one of those songs that when you hear it you immediately think in your head, "YES, I found a GOOD song today." Then add to playlist and listen to it over and over again.

[blondybash321]

I'm sitting around waiting for a promotion.

[Wildchoco]

run run run run runr run run run run run run run run run run run run run run forest run run run run run! xDD

[MultiMar16]

you know what's weird? when I hear this song, I think of Ron Paul.

RON PAUL 2012

[IBBangin19]

@MultiMar16 Yeah, because this song completely exemplifies everything that Ron Paul stands for, right?

[MultiMar16]

@IBBangin19 yep

[mystro810]

@IBBangin19 Ron Paul is fighting the good fight. He is a rarity in the world of politicians.

[IBBangin19]

@mystro810 I'm of the opinion that a politician like Ron Paul is the last person that Tracy Chapman had in mind when she wrote this song. But that's just me.

[Floodlezoot]

@IBBangin19 politics make strange bedfellows...

[collinf123]

Love

[ComPlexGFXx1]

this good song



[Piast1995]

STEHEN, DAMIT ES WEITER GEHT!

[keithelstone]

Viva Punk from Germany!

Revolution in hearts allready has begun, but stand up and fight for it!

Go out and shout your opinion out to the world, shout it on your state and if it doesn't listen throw a stone and shout again!

It's time to change...

[A55ma57er]

YOU CAN'T STOP THE REVOLUTION!

[9797sabina]

This is just sooo good. I loved this song 20 years ago and still do. Could sing it all day long.

[stillmakerr]

it's crazy how relevant this is to the Occupy Wallstreet Movement that is occuring aoud our nation and our world toay

[toomalataicodie]

love ya tracy

[lillyvictoriaxo]

Voice of gold.

[11okiN]

[MrOliver1414]

What a song!

[lolo980506]

J'ADOOORE !!!

[Floodlezoot]

it sounds like old news when it was new............and finally the tables ARE STARIGN TO TURN.............

[Floodlezoot]

niggers always say it first. that simple............

[Floodlezoot]

hey Tracy? any comments? 1989? Pooor people gonna rise uP????

[Floodlezoot]

what a fucking song, beyond its time by 20 fucking years. We'll hear this yet.

[Scottf929]

@Floodlezoot I think you might be missing her point in the lyrics -- the people forced to stand in these welfare lines will rise up AGAINST the forces against them -- keeping them from promotion in life.

[Floodlezoot]

@Scottf929 i think i noticed that. what i meant (i was so drunk i could hardly see) was that in 1988 or so she wrote this, but now it seems with the uprisings and occupy wallstreet stuff, that actual uprisings based on wealth disparity is really starting to happen. So she said it about 25 years early, but now it seems like people are really getting fed up with the banks and tax exemptions for the rich, etc. Violence and uprisings are how things get better in my opinion.

[Paganguy1]

Although, Tracey would NOT approve, and I love her like bacon! What needs to be done is these bankers and mega-conglomerates need to be dragged out of their towers and flayed alive. In human history, from Rome to Russia, the rich need to get reminded that we are the real power... destroy them. Eat the rich!

[UnconventionalAqua]

Occupy <3 Love this song. We're finally making it happen.

[msignoranceisbliss1]

wonderful song...

A Great Song, a Chinese Translation: 你知道，你是在说革命， 虽然说得那么轻轻。 你知道，人人都在说革命， 虽然说得那么轻轻。 他们站在等救济的长队里， 在救世军的门阶上哭泣； 浪费时间在失业的大军里， 坐在那里等着下一次提级。 你知道，你是在说革命， 虽然说得那么轻轻。 站起来吧，穷苦人， 要得到你们那一份。 站起来吧，穷苦人， 争取属于你们的那一份。 你知道，你要奋进向前，向前，向前，向前，向前，…； 你知道，你要奋进向前，向前，向前，向前，向前，…； 最终，社会要公平， 人人都在说革命。 最终，社会要公平， 人人都在说革命。 人人都在说革命。 他们站在等救济的长队里， 在救世军的门阶上哭泣； 浪费时间在失业的大军里， 坐在那里等着下一次提级。 你知道，你是在说革命， 虽然说得那么轻轻。 最终，社会要公平， 人人都在说革命。 最终，社会要公平， 人人都在说革命。 都在说革命， 都在说革命。

[box1car1]

Google Solar Mortality Theory to understand whats happening globally

Origins of Genocide blog written Jan'06 predicted a trigger point would

occur precisely on 2007.5 that'd set off global socio-economic upheavals

(such as Arab Spring) We now know that tripper point occurred on 7July'07

when the UPTICK RULE was dismantled allowing bloated bubble economy

stocks to be shorted into the mud, leading to stk mkt crash of fall '08

Despite financial reforms, the UPTICK RULE has NOT been reinstated- duh

[aourraz]

I like it !!

[zaftMauritius]

Yearning for you morning and night, I'll become a star! I'll protect you, not knowing where the battle is

At the crossing of tomorrow and yesterday, you and I don't intersect

Now here I go, I'm a shooting star!

THE BEST WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE SOCIAL PROTESTS IN ISRAEL AT THE MOMENT - SO RELEVANT!!!!!! WHAT A PURE SONG!!!!!! THXS DEAR TRACY!!!!!

[AquaBuddha71]

Listened to this song back in high school 20 years ago, its more relevant today than it was back than. Middle East Spring, Israel protests, protests across Europe, protests in Wisconsin, protests in Chile and London Riots. Change is in the air. Like the poster said above we are all in this together.

Thank you for this video! :) It helped me learn the words to this song, which I believe needs to be WIDELY sung these days.
