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
