Tracy Chapman – Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution – 1988

    Paroles

    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 theirsDon’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
    Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
    Talkin’ bout a revolution, oh no
    Talkin’ bout a revolution, oh
    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
    And finally the tables are starting to turn
    Talkin’ bout a revolution
    Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
    Talkin’ bout a revolution, oh no
    Talkin’ bout a revolution, oh no
    Talkin’ bout a revolution, oh no
