Intro (0:00)

Chorus (0:09)
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

Verse 2 (0:25)
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

Chorus (0:42)
Don't you know, they're talkin' about a
Revolution, it sounds like a whisper

Verse 3 (0:50)
Poor people gonna rise up and get their share

Poor people gonna rise up and take what's theirs


Chorus (1:07)
Don't you know you better 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
Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, hold on
Talkin' bout a revolution, hold

Verse 4 (1:42)
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

Chorus (1:59)
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

Enjoy
