Píseň: Talkin about a revolution

Interpret:
Tracy Chapman
Album:
Tracy Chapman
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whipser
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 enemployment 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
