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 gonna be

Alright?

Alright?

Alright?



You say you've 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 are doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate

Don't you know it's gonna be

Alright?

Alright?

Alright?



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

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao

You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow



Don't you know it's gonna be

Alright?

Alright?

Alright?

Alright?

Alright?

Alright?
