Don’t you know
They’re talkin’ bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don’t you know
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
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...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin’ bout a revolution
----

These lines, I think, stand as SIGNS/TRACES of a vanishing dream:the dream of the REVOLUTION!
Now, they even talk about the END of HISTORY (history of the revolution). CAPITALISM is all over the place.
This is the end of a DREAM!Their dream!

It's coming. May be not the loud and roaring one that some have dreamt about - and some still do. But a more subtle yet powerful one. One that draws strength from reality rather than rhetoric.
I LOVE TRACY CHAPMAN.
