Tracy Chapman - Talkin' Bout A Revolution Lyrics






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
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, 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

    I just introduced my (younger) wife to Tracy Chapman, a voice I enjoyed and admired during my childhood.
    She listened a while, then exclaimed "Surely this man is one of the greatest vocalists I've never heard of!"
    Heheh. We're both fans now.
    Great classic tune.

    My sister and I were at Wembley Stadium in 1988. The concert was for Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday. A quiet black person came onto the side stage, as the crew were setting up the main stage for Whitney to come on. Everyone was chatting and taking a break, getting drinks, toilets and burgers. THEN!!! a peace came over the stadium,.. quiet.... Its was TRACY!! at the end of this song there was a certain strange and comforting union in the arena...we were all making conversations...like...WHO WAS THAT!! Seriously didnt know who she was..let alone if the person that sung was male or female.. I remember all the young black gals from Brixton be like,, wow..what jus happened, beautifall

  79. T.... I....

    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, 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
