Lyrics for Talking Bout a Revolution by Tracy Chapman:
| | | Artist: | Tracy Chapman |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Talking Bout a Revolution | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 73 | | | | Lyrics: | People say it doesn't exist
'Cause no one would like to admit
That there is a city
underground
Where people live everyday
Off the waste and decay
Off the discards of their
fellow man
Here in subcity life is hard
We can't recieve any government relief
I'd
like to give Mr. President my honest regards
For disregarding me
They say there's too
much crime in these city streets
My sentiments exactly
Government and big buisness hold the
purse strings
When I worked I worked in the factory
I'm at the mercy of the world
I
guess I'm lucky to be alive
They say we've fallen through the cracks
They say the
system works
But we won't let it
Help
I guess they never stop to think
We might not
just want handouts
But a way to make an honest living
Living this ain't living
What
did I do to deserve this
Had my trust in god
Worked everyday of my life
Thought I had
some guarantees
That's what I thought
At least that's what I thought
Last night I
had another restless sleep
Wondering what tomorrow might bring
Last night I dreamed
A
cold blue light was shining down on me
I screamed myself awake
Thought I must be
dying
Thought I must be dying | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
