Revolution Lyrics
Artist: The Beatles
Album: The White Album
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 that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
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 is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
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 you 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 it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

I love this song because it's so applicable to the here and now as well as then. It's a revolutionary song in itself. A massive amount of emotion and personal effort went into it and it shows.
I agree with everyone! This is the first time i've heard this song and I actually cried lol! Pure genius!!

I can't say I agree with Jim. This song ROCKS!!!

It's a pity that the world is so rotten... In QLD, S7 Fluorosilica has been added to our beautiful clean water for the first time. This is a henious act.
The Beatles song will be used as our theme song, in the fight to right - the restoration of our water, back to the people, not owned and controlled by the STATE OF QLD government. It's a sad day that brings control of the masses, by mass forced fluoridation.
'Revolution' lyrics are spot on for our battle..... ! Love the Beatles.
fantasticccccc!!!!! Paul rockssss!!!!!!
best song ever!
THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yall like that ghetto booty
like everyone says its a awsome song, but the beatles were a mastermind when it came to writing songs i havn't ever meet one person, even if they don't like the beatles, who doesn't like at least one of there song i personaly love em all =)
Hey Marysixtyfour-
Paul had absolutely nothing to do with "Revolution" other than he was in the band.
Ill make it short because b**** im talking to my niggas. I LOVE THE BEATLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beatles are the men. They threw it down.
B$$$$ I'm T.I.
The beatles are amazing but my jerk friend says that noone likes the beatles
Man this song is awesome!!!
this is a great song
Revolution? Change the Constitution? There is non so blind as he who will not see.
Johnny got it right. Can't you idiots see what's in front of your face. The Beetle's knew it then and Obama knows it now. wake up America!!!!!
This song is decades old,
yet it is so fitting with what is going on right now in America. The line, "But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao/
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow," I liken to those who call the
President a Nazi and carry pictures of
him as Hitler. Even if those people were saying something that made sense,
the name calling makes the world not hear anything else they might have to
say.
I've always loved this song. Classic Chuck Berry chords electrified. Was
just playing it, and came here to read
the lyrics--even though I've known them
since I was kid. Lennon wrote this one
by himself. And what an effort....
change brother to sister, and you have the womens revolution, which has been going on centuries and is still alive and well worldwide.
go sisters
this is a really great and one of many great song that beatles sing
beetles rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The song was inspired by the Vietnam War and the student movements around the world in 1968. In The Beatles song "Revolution", has a reference to Mao in the lyrics, "But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao, they ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow", this means that many radicals like Lula, Che, Felipe Calderón, and Díaz Ordaz, carrying pictures of Mao, and they dig against communism.
i love john george paul and ringo
their the best
Has anyone noticed that this song is basically an anti-violence, anti-Marxist/anti-Communist song. That's what makes it outstanding! It seems that those from the '60s who are in charge now within the Congress have strayed to the far left, which is something that this song tells people NOT to do.
who is the beatles
i like pizza
BEATLES ROCK!!!!!
ITS GONNA BE ALRIGHT!!!~A~
This song is great, and it inspired an even greater one; the best of all time: The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again
this song is great,awesome,and wonderful
Sarah Palin: take heed and put done your self-portrait
You forgot the question mark on the part where it says, "Don't you know that you can count me out?"
Yall are all creepy
hahahaha what about cheese?
viva le beatles
I know the Beatles revolutionized music. But they are terrible. There's no musicality or anything. Tone sucks
this is a song which inspires even a junkie to work in the right direction...
beatles are awesome... Touchd heart
Tha beatles were and are an amazing group anyone says dif. Is a freakin idiot an doesnt really know good music when they hear it!!
Awsomeness
that what that is
Finally the truth about this song is discovered. It is AGAINST violence and FOR the Constitution and God. We need this song now more than ever. John speaks from the grave... (and his wife should be listening!)
You got that right Ellie. And the occupy group should also read and understand the song.
Ellie you are absolutely right the song while not condemning revolution does point out that violent and communism are not roads to change but destruction.
Beatles are ok!
This song was written in 1972 and
represents what is going on in the
world today.The Beatles were way
ahead of their time and John Lennon
was true visionary that we lost way
too soon.
We need this song now with the elections and the Occupy Movement. Please, someone, bring out a boombox or start singing it to these people.
Great way to introduce conflict!
beatles. i like you!!! h...hahahaha
LoVe ThIs SoNg!!!:)
absolutly love this song...plan on singing it for school talent show just cause itz AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the beatles!! Music isn't music anymore=( I wish bands would play real music like the beatles!
I hate music!
I have to analyze this song for my AP US History class. Like this song is going to be on the exam!
i have to create a song based on this song for world history.
Loved that lyric so much...its more than lyric..great lines from hollybook!
the is communist
Lennon was telling the people of the United States you had better think twice about changing our Constitution and not to go with a nut like Mao.
Obama is Mao recreated we have to vote him out before its to late!
Did we ever know that Bill Ayres and the, "weather underground" and black panthers and all the other radicals of the time of the 60's went to Lennon to get him on board to take down America and riot because they were the most influential music group in the world and instead of going along with it, he told them he would have to think about it and then proceeded to write this song...it was the END of the radical movement as Lennon in his lyrics tells his feelings and Bill Ayres must have been livid when this came out....Ever wonder now about the assassination of Lennon???????
The link between Lennon's assassination following the "Revolution" song lyrics' answer to Bill Ayres is quite thought-provoking. Just doesn't seem like a coincidence. Wonder whether the authorities would at least take another look at that?
What killed Lennon was a ratbag country; full of guns, & nuts, & gun-nuts...& it's worse now than it was then!
In response to Ann's comment, Lennon was faced with the same agenda that the Democrat advance now and this ong is the response.
In response to Twinkle toes, a country full of guns was the founders' intent to be a deterrent to any and all oppressors foreign and domestic. Trust that gun bans are always sitting in a drawer waiting for the right "crisis" to sell them to the American people. I never trust those who advocate the bans. They say they'll change the constitution. The Constitution's Bill of rights says the right to keep & bear arms shall not be infringed.
The Beatles are over-rated.
This song is the typical pacifist nonsense I would expect from john Lenin. "Free your mind instead" Sure. let's free our minds and ignore that thousands are living and dying on our streets while there are more than enough empty buildings to house them. People go without food when warehouses of grain and other crops are hoarded and destroyed to drive up prices.
iut its not the institution. Oh no, just free your mind. Fuckin hippies.
I just wanted to know who was playing the piano.
I dont hate their ideas or lyrics, but they sound awful,their lyrics always have meaning but the sound is a piece of crap
