    The song talks about a coming revolution where the poor will rise up against the unequal social and economic system. It describes the poor waiting in welfare and unemployment lines, crying for help but getting nowhere. It warns that the tables are finally starting to turn and a revolution is coming, though currently it only sounds like a whisper. The poor will get their share and take what is theirs through this revolution.

    Talking about a revolution Tracy Chapman

    Don't you know You're talking 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 You're talking 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 Oh I said you better Run, run, run Cause finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' about a revolution ( x 2 ) Oh no Talkin' bout a revolution 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 You're talkin' bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper And finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' about a revolution Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' about a revolution Oh no Talkin' about a revolution Oh no Talkin' about a revolution Oh no
