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
