It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines

Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation

Run, run, run

As finally the tables are starting to turn

Ya finalmente las cosas están empezando a cambiar

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…

As finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution…
