A música Talkin Bout a Revolution de Tracy Chapman fala sobre a frustração e a esperança da classe trabalhadora que enfrenta a inadequação econômica e social, sonhando e advogando por uma mudança radical. Reflete o desejo de reforma social e justiça.
Don't you know They're talkin' about 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' about 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, run Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Cuz finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' bout a revolution Cuz finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' bout a revolution hold on Talkin' bout a revolution hooo 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' about 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 hold on Talkin' bout a revolution hold on Talkin' bout a revolution hold on
