Aah

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 want to 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 (oh shoo-be-do-a)
Alright (oh shoo-be-do-a)?
Don't you know it's gonna be (oh shoo-be-do-a)

You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're all doing what we can
(Oh shoo-be-do-a, oh shoo-be-do-a)
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
Well all I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Well you know
We'd all love to change your head
(Oh shoo-be-do-a, oh shoo-be-do-a)
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You'd better free your mind instead
(Oh shoo-be-do-a, oh shoo-be-do-a)
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 (oh shoo-be-do-a)
