About

From the album “Must Be Magic”, Teena Marie sings in remembrance of former Beatle and activist, John Lennon, who’d been shot a few months prior in December 1980 in front of his New York apartment. Nearly every lyric contains a reference to his life and work with the Beatles.

Revolution Lyrics

[Intro]
Any old revolution just won't do
Let's put an end to war and start anew
Any old revolution just won't do
Let's put an end to war and start anew

[Verse 1]
Penny lane, the pipers gone, I saw the photograph
Neither you nor I can tell what Heaven knows
I told my bestest friend named Mickey, girl
We're really living in a sicky world

[Chorus]
I wish I had the right solution
'Cause any old revolution won't do
A revolution, a revolution won't do
A revolution, a revolution won't do

[Verse 2]
Have mercy beat, he sits with his wife at the Sushi bar
(Sipping sake to their heart's content)
Sipping sake to their heart's content, oh no (Oh no)
Go tell his friend the Maharishi, sheesh
Somebody blew away the sixties peace

[Chorus]
We need a moral contribution
'Cause any old revolution won't do
A revolution, a revolution won't do
A revolution, a revolution won't do

[Refrain]
Come together, oh yeah
Come together, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
Rubber soul, look at the killer, he's just standing there
Reading captions from the "Catcher in the Rye"
It didn't take too many dollars, no
To get his hands on a revolver blow

[Chorus]
We need a whole new constitution
'Cause any old revolution won't do
A revolution, a revolution won't do
A revolution, a revolution won't do

[Verse 4]
Pepperland, there must be a toe jam working juju on his brain
(Working juju on his brain)
If not, then why do I feel so all alone?
I saw a thousand different candles die
Dakota station, we've been scandaled, why?

[Bridge]
I wish I had the right solution
'Cause any old revolution won't do
This situation's gotten
Too far out of hand
We need a moral contribution
'Cause any old revolution won't do
We've got to make a stand
Stand up and throw up your hands, oh

[Outro]
Why must they kill all of our leaders?
We've got a long, long way to go, oh
He only wanted to let peace shine through
Any old revolution, no, it just won't do, no
(A revolution, a revolution won't do)
Not just any revolution
(A revolution, a revolution won't do)
I'm here to talk about the constitution
A revolution, a revolution won't do
You know we need a moral contribution, help me
Revolution, constitution
Bump it, just sing
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
