Cover art for Talkin’ ‘Bout A Revolution lyrics by Tracy Chapman

It's about how hard it is to change the way things are and break the cycle. They want a revolution but it sounds like a whisper because no one listens or hears. And it is hard to take action when all your time is "wasted in the unemployment lines." So to Pauly, it's not about apathy. The song has passion and a true desire to change things, even if it is against the odds. And at the end it takes a turn for the hopeful side.
