You say you want a revolution,
Well you know,
We all want to change the world.
You tell me 'bout an evolution,
Well you know,
We all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
Well, don't you know
That you can count me out.
Don't you know it's gonna be...

All right
All right
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 doin' 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...

Repeat Chorus

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 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...
