We All Wanna Change Your Head

Today's Beatles song of the day: "Revolution"

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

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 all doing what we can

But if you want money from people with minds that hate
All I can tell you 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 wanna change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't gonna 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

This track was released as the B-side to "Hey Jude" on August 26, 1968. Written by John Lennon, the lyrics were him finally being able to express a political viewpoint after not being able to do so for many years.
