Lyrics
Take two
Expression of readiness or agreement to engage in something
Okay
Acknowledgment or agreement
You say you want a revolution
Stating the desire for a revolution, a significant change
Well, you know
Acknowledging awareness of the desire for change
We all want to change the world
Highlighting the universal wish for transformation
You tell me that it's evolution
Referring to the proposed change as an evolutionary process
Well, you know
Reiterating the common aspiration for change
We all want to change the world
Emphasizing the collective desire for a transformed world
But when you talk about destruction
Expressing hesitance or refusal towards destructive actions
Don't you know that you can count me out (in)
Clarifying a refusal to participate in destructive actions
Don't you know it's gonna be
Predicting the nature of the upcoming change
All right?
Seeking affirmation or agreement for the predicted change
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reassuring that the change will be acceptable or satisfactory
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reiterating the assurance of an acceptable change
You say you got a real solution
Indicating the possession of a practical solution
Well, you know
Acknowledging the desire for a detailed plan
We'd all love to see the plan
Expressing a collective interest in knowing the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Requesting a contribution or support for the proposed change
Well, you know
Highlighting the universal effort to contribute
We're all doing what we can
Acknowledging the collective effort being made
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
Conditioning financial support on a positive mindset
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Advising patience for those with negative attitudes
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reassuring that the change will be acceptable
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reiterating the assurance of an acceptable change
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Emphasizing the certainty of a positive outcome
You say you'll change the constitution
Expressing a willingness to amend established rules
Well, you know
Acknowledging the collective desire to alter perspectives
We'd all love to change your head
Expressing a desire to change traditional thinking
You tell me it's the institution
Attributing the need for change to existing institutions
Well, you know
Reiterating the importance of freeing one's mind
You better free your mind instead
Encouraging a shift in mindset instead of physical actions
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
Advising against promoting certain ideologies
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Suggesting that adhering to certain beliefs hinders relationships
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reassuring that the change will be acceptable
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reiterating the assurance of an acceptable change
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Emphasizing the certainty of a positive outcome
All, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all right
Concluding with repeated affirmation of the acceptability of the change
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right
Concluding with strong affirmation of the acceptability of the change
