Talking ‘Bout A Revolution

TOP del.icio.us

Don’t you just love Friday? In our office, we have what we call Friday music. This is the kind of music that lifts our spirits and keeps us sane. Today, I played ‘my song’ again and again. The more I play it, the more I think about our situation in Zimbabwe. The song is by Tracy Chapman and it’s called – Talking ‘Bout A Revolution.

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

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
You better run…
Oh I said you better
Run
run
run…
