Don't you know They're talkin' bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper Don't you know They're talkin' bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper While they're standing in the welfare lines crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salavation Wasting time in the unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Poor peoplegonna rise up and get their share Poor peoplegonna 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
