Revolution
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
(Chorus)
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Well, alright
Everybody...Revolution
Alright! (x9)
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 doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you brother you have to wait
(Repeat Chorus)
You say you'll change a 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 going to make it with anyone anyhow
(Repeat Chorus)
