Tracy Chapman -Talkin' Bout A Revolution (Live and Acoustic 1988)

                                                                     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

Oh said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Cause finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin'about a revolution

Yes finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin'bout a revolution

Oh no

Talkin'bout a revolution

Oh no

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

Yes finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin'bout a revolution

Oh no

Yes finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin'bout a revolution

Oh no

Talkin'bout a revolution

                                                                             Oh no

I like and I choose this song, because I really like what she is protesting about, the revolution. She says poor people rebelled and will take what belongs. She showed us that anyone could connect with the big public talking about the necessity of change. I think she also wanted to reflect the feminine point of view. It's a relaxing song to listen and I like her voice, she had power singing the song and she felt all the words. It's a topic that seems a little current, but it is of 1988. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0TdGGpOpVE
