Revolution lyrics - The Beatles song

( J. Lennon, P. 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 gonna be alright.

You say you got a real solution,
Well, you know, we'd all love to see the plan.
You asked me for a contribution,
Well, you know, we're doing what we can.
But when 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 gonna be alright.

You say you'll change the 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 going to make it with anyone, anyhow.
Don't you know it's gonna be alright.
