Thompson Twins

Revolution

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,

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! alright, alright, alright, alright,

Alright! alright, alright, 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 brother you have to wait.

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

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.

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
