Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines
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
Oh I said you better run, run
Run,run,run,run,run,run,run,run,run,run
It's finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
It's 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
Talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
It's 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
Don't you know
Tracy Chapman sings about the thinking
of the workers.
She
sings about people wasting their lives waiting for government assistance and
better jobs. She said the workers would a communism government and not a
capitalist one because the workers were exploiting by the companies and
factories because they have a lot of power. That situation is like in the
middle age, the factories were like the bourgeoisie and the workers are like
the farmers. The workers were exploiting because the factories only thought in
their profit and obviously the factories won more money if they paid less to
his workers.
Tracy Chapman said in the song that they
whispered for a change and the workers will do a revolution.
When Tracy Chapman sings, “I said you better run, run, run,” she is referring to
the capitalist that are being taken out. Finally, the tables are turning, she
sings because the things began to change.
