You say you want a revolution, well you know

We all wanna change the world

You tell me that it's evolution, well you know

We all wanna change the world



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



You say you've got a real solution, well you know

You ask me for a contribution, well you know

We're all doin' what we can



If you want money for people with minds that hate

All I can tell you is buddy, you'll 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 all wanna change it here

You tell me it's the institution, well you know

You'd better free your mind instead



If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mau,

You ain't gonna 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, alright, alright..
