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
Don’t you know They’re talkin’ bout 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, run, run,
Oh I said you better Run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
Finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin’ bout a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin’ bout a revolution
Talkin’ bout a revolution 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 talkin’ bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper
Finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin’ bout a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin’ bout a revolution (sing365)
Tracy Chapman: “I wrote the song when I was sixteen, I guess I was in my second or my first year of boarding school. I grew up in Cleveland and went to public school there. I received the scolarship to go to boarding school. It was a really difficult transition for me, being in Danbury, Connecticut. I found that people at the school didn’t really have that much interest. I was really angry about that, and that’s where the song ‘Talkin’Bout a Revolution’ came from. Meaning that alot of them thought that… they didn’t think that people’s lives who…, people who didn’t have money or who were working class, their lives weren’t very significant and they also somehow couldn’t make a change. But I feel that’s where change comes from, that’s where people are in most need”
