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 you can count me out 
Don't you know it's gonna be alright 
Alright Alright 
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 when 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 
Alright Alright 

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 going to make it with anyone anyhow 
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright 
Alright Alright
