Talkin' 'bout a Revolution

Here are the lyrics from an old Tracy Chapman song called 'Talkin' 'bout a Revolution'.
Tracy Chapman is a multi-platinum and four- time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter.
Check it on youtube, the song is worth a listen!

'''''''''''"
Don't you know you're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know they're talking 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 unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know you're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

Poor people are gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people are 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, run
Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no

Don't know if the guys at Goldman Sachs have noticed this yet, but discontent, despair and confusion and anger at the establishment is growing.
People the world over are all at sea --- trying to comprehend the chaotic economy, their job security, pensions and futures.
