You say you want a revolution, 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, alright, alright, alright

You say you got a resolution, well you know We'd all love to see the plan, let me see the plan now

You ask me for a contribution, well you know We're all doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds at 8, all I can tell you is brother you'll have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be alright, alright, alright, don't you know it's gonna be 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 and stay

But your feet 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, don't you know it's gonna be alright, alright

Don't you know it's gonna be alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Alright, you know it's gonna be, alright, you know it's gonna be, alright, alright
