Don't you know They're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper Don't you know They're talking 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 Don't you know They're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper 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... 'Cos finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution Yes finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution Oh Lord Talking about a revolution Oh Lord 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 Don't you know They're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper And finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution Yes finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution Oh Lord Talking about a revolution Oh Lord Talking about a revolution Oh Lord
