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



You know it's gonna be all right

You know it's gonna be all right

You know it's gonna be all right



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 all doing what we can



If you want money for people with minds that hate

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait



You know it's gonna be all right

You know it's gonna be all right

You know it's gonna be all right



You say you'd change the constitution

Well you know

We'd all love 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 gonna make it with anyone anyhow



You know it's gonna be all right

You know it's gonna be all right

You know it's gonna be all right



(Repeat)
