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 gonna be alright? (You know its gonna be) alright? (You know its gonna be) alright? You say you've 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, But if you want money for people with minds that hate, All I can tell is, brother, you'll have to wait, Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (You know its gonna be) alright? (You know its gonna be) 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'd better free your mind instead, But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow, Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (You know its gonna be) alright? (You know its gonna be) alright? (You know its gonna be) alright?
