Talking` Bout A Revolution

Talking' Bout A Revolution
Tracy Chapman
auteur, compositeur, interprète américaine
Don't you know
(They're) talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like whisper
Don't you know
(They're) talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like whisper
.
Oh I said you better
Run... run... run...
Caus’ Finally the tables are starting to turn
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
(They're) talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like whisper
Yes Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution oh oh
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
Poor people gonna rise up
(And) get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
(And) take what's theirs
Don't you know
(They're) talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like whisper
And Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Don't you know
You better run... run... run... ... ...
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
… en 1988, une jeune artiste noire sort de l'ombre après des années
de galère, avec cette chanson « Talking’ bout a revolution », qui ose
parler de l'Amérique des laissés pour compte... Cette collection
de chansons, écrites entre 1982 et 1987, est un véritable concentré
d'émotions. Le message est souvent politisé et désabusé mais ne
sombre jamais dans l'outrance : la pauvreté, l'apartheid , l'amour
perdu, la violence conjugale, la guerre, la famine... autant de thèmes
développés de manière très pudique…
