Lyrics :
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
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...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution

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.
