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. (chorus) Don't you know it's going to be alright, Don't you know it's going to be alright, Don't you know it's going to be alright, Well, alright Everybody...Revolution! Alright! (x 9) 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 know We're doing what we can. But if you want money for people with minds that hate, All I can tell you brother you have to wait. (REPEAT CHORUS) 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 going to make it with anyone anyhow. (REPEAT CHORUS)
