Lyrics for Revolution

Alright Alright Alright 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? In out, in, out Be all right Be all right 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 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 Be all right Be all right Be all right 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 Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right Be all right
