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 alright?
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 is brother, you have to wait
Don't you know it's going to be alright?
You say you'll change the constitution Well, you know We don't love to change our 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
