Lyrics:
B E
You say you want a revolution well you know
B
We all want to change the world
B E
You tell me that it's evolution well you know

But when you talk about destruction
C#m A B G# F#
Don't you know that you can count me out
B E
Don't you know it's gonna be Alright
B E
Don't you know it's gonna be Alright
B E F#7
Don't you know it's gonna be Alright
B E
You say you got a real solution well you know
B
We'd all love to see the plan
B E
You ask me for a contribution well you know
B
We're doing what we can
C#m F#
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
C#m A B G# F#
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
(chorus)
B E
You say you'll change the constitution well you know
B
We all want to change your head
B E
You tell me it's the institution well you know

You better free your mind instead
C#m F#
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
C#m A B G# F#
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
