Talkin' bout a revolution

[Originally by Tracy Chapman] 

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 [bad word]  [bad word] .. 
Oh I said you better [bad word]  [bad word] .. 

Finally the tables are starting to turn 
Talkin' bout a revolution
