You say you want a revolution, well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that'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...alright
Don't you know it's gonna be...alright
Don't you know it's gonna be...alright
You say you've 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 are doin' what we can
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
Don't you know it's gonna be...alright
Don't you know it's gonna be...alright
Say you'll change the constitution, well you know
We all want to change your head
You're telling me it's the institution, well you know
You'd better free your mind instead
If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
Ain't gonna make it with anyone, anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be...alright
Don't you know it's gonna be...alright
Don't you know it's gonna be...alright

You tell me that's evolution, well you know

"We're all Christ and we're all Hitler. We are trying to make Christ's message contemporary. We want Christ to win. What would he have done if he had advertisements, T.V., records, films and newspapers? The miracle today is communication. So let's use it."
John Lennon 1969
