TALKING 'BOUT A REVOLUTION, Tracy Chapman
Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
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' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' bout 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, run, run
Oh I said you better run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
run
It's finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
It's finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution oh
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
Talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
It's finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
In
this song, Tracy Chapman, tries to make a portrait relating to the society,
because there are very differences with the poor and the rich people. She thinks that the things have to change. The whole world has right to live
through a better life.
Bob Dylan, 'Blowin' in the Wind'
In this song, Bob Dylan, treats topics as the peace, the war and the freedom. It is a song of protest because the author claims the peace and the freedom.
The song contains rethorical questions. In the fragment when Bob Dylan says "The answer, is blowing in the wind" has two interpretations. Either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind.
