Talkin’ Bout a Revolution
By Tracy Chapman
Don't you know you're talking about a
revolutionit sounds like a whisper
Don't you know you're talking about a revolutionit sounds like
a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare linesCrying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for apromotion
Don't you know you're talking about a revolutionIt sounds like a whisper
Poor people aregonna rise up
and get their share
Poor people are gonna rise up And take what's theirs
Don’t you know you better run
(x13)
Oh I said you better run (x13)
Cause finally the tables
Are starting to turnTalking about a
revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turnTalking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution
Oh, 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 knowThey’re talking about
A revolution It sounds like
A whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolutionFinally the tables are
starting to turn
Talking about a revolutionOh no (x3)
Queries REVOLUTION
In recent months and weeks, issues such as: lack of free speech & free press, social inequality and lack of economic opportunities have all been helping to fuel revolutions around the world. Many of us have been watching both a remarkable and largely peaceful revolution taking place in Egypt.
After listening to the song and watching the slides…Mr. Chagan’s Advisory would like for you to consider the following:
1) What are the issues in our surrounding communities (and perhaps our own community) that you think are in need of change?
2) Are there people currently in this Meeting Room that are helping to create change? How are you making a difference?
3) How can you, me, us….start our own revolution?
