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
Don't you know it's gonna be 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 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
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
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 know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright
Information
John was seen to be politically left-wing, which caused many parties
to harass him for funding, which resulted in his writing of this song.
He is basically saying that he believes that the main revolution to
come about will be interna one. The fast version of this song was
a b-side to Hey Jude.
John said: "All I'm saying is I think you should do it by changing
people's heads, and they're saying we should smash the system. Now
the system smashing scene has been going on forever. What's it done?"
