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

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

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
