"Revolution 1" lyrics

Revolution 1

Ah, take 2
OK

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
You can count me out in

Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright
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 ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're all 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 gonna be
Alright
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We'd all love 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
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, alright
Alright
Alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Alright
Alright, alright
