You say you want a revolution / Well you know / We all wanna change the world / You tell me that it’s evolution / Well you know / We all wanna change the world

But when you talk about destruction / Don’t you know that you can count me out-in

Don’t you know it’s gonna be 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 all doing what we can

But if 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…

You say you’ll change the constitution / Well you know / We’d all love to change our heads / 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

And you know it’s gonna be alright / Alright…
