Lyrics The Beatles

The Beatles

Revolution

1. 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

G7

we all want to change the world.

R: 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

don't you know it's gonna be alright

don't you know it's gonna be alright.

2. You say you got a resolution

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.

R: 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

don't you know it's gonna be alright

don't you know it's gonna be alright.

3. 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.

R: 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.
