Revolution

Lyrics: Lennon/McCartney
Music: Lennon/McCartney

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world

You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's going to be all right
All right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution
Well you now
We're doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's going to be all right
All right, all right

You say you'll change a constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head

You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's going to be all right
All right, all right
