• Activity 2.13: "Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution," by Tracy Chapman

Don't you know

They're talking about a revolution?

It sounds like a whisper

Don't you know

Talking 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

Talking about 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, run

Oh, I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run, run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin' 'bout a revolution

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no

Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh

I've been 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

Talking about a revolution?

It sounds like a whisper

And finally the tables are starting to turn

Talkin' 'bout a revolution

Yes, 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

  • Activity 3.3 - Lyrics & Clip: "The Right to Love," by Gene Lee and Lalo Schifrin 

My love and I ask little of the world 

The right to sigh together in the rain 

And walk with heads up in the sun 

And share our joy and our pain

And yet they say that we are wrong 

That we haven't the right to our love 

That this love is shameful to see 

And yet we treasure our love

And so we go our solitary ways 

Indifferent to the cold unfriendly stares 

Indifferent to the whispered talk

We don't care at all

We have all we need

As long as we can be together

We know we've earned the precious right to love

And so we go our solitary ways 

Indifferent to the cold unfriendly stares 

Indifferent to the whispered talk

We don't care at all

We have all we need

As long as we can be together

We find our consolation in each others eyes

The sweet look of wonder

We know we've earned the precious right to love
