Tracy Chapman

chorus
D ^G on't you ^Cadd9 know
^D They're talkin' about ^Dsus4 a revolu ^G tion
It ^Cadd9 sounds ^D like ^Dsus4 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 enemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
chorus
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
