Revolution Lyrics
[Intro]
Aah!
[Verse 1]
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 wanna change the world
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out?
[Chorus]
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Alright
Alright
[Verse 2]
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 all doin' what we can
[Pre-Chorus]
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait
[Chorus]
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Alright
Alright
[Instrumental Break]

You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright
Alright
Alright
[Outro]

Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright!
