You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world.
Tou tell me that its evolution,
Well, you know
We all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
Dont you know that you can count me out.
Dont you know its going to be alright,
Alright, alright.
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
Wed all love to see the plan.
You ask me for a contribution,
Well, you know
Were doing what we can.
Ut if you want money for people with minds that hate,
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait.
Dont you know its going to be alright,
Alright, alright.
You say youll change a constitution
Well, you know
We all want ot change your head.
You tell me its the institution,
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead.
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao,
You aint gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
Dont you know its going to be alright,
Alright, alright [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/beatles/revolution.html ]
They mention chairmen mao, who was a dictator in china in the mid-twentieth century. He started communism their, and tarted a plan that got rid of all the industry in the country. Thousands of chinese people starved to death. Wrong kind of revolution, if you ask me. Beatles are awesome!!!
This song was written back when there were lots of revolutions taking place. Even the beatles were there own revolution from their hair to their songs, no group was quite like them. So this song is mainly about not being afraid to take chances and start your own revolution, but at the same time, not always starting wars for simple things and trying to change the world. All in all, its a very good song and the beatles are amazing!
