Revolution
Challenging the Status Quo: The Dead Daisies' Call for Change
Lyrics
You say you want a revolution
You express a desire for a significant change or upheaval.
Well, you know
Acknowledging that the desire for change is recognized.
We all want to change the world
Highlighting a universal aspiration for societal transformation.
You tell me that it's evolution
Suggesting that the desired change is gradual and continuous.
Well, you know
Reiterating the collective yearning for a transformed world.
We all want to change the world
Emphasizing the shared ambition for global change.
But when you talk about destruction
Cautioning against advocating for destruction or chaos.
Don't you know that you can count me out
Expressing a personal disapproval or opting out of endorsing destructive actions.
Don't you know it's gonna be
Anticipating that the transformative process will be acceptable or permissible.
All right, all right, all right
Repetition for emphasis, indicating reassurance or approval.
You say you got a real solution
Stating a belief in possessing a practical and effective solution.
Well, you know
Acknowledging the interest in seeing a detailed plan for the proposed solution.
We'd all love to see the plan
Expressing willingness to contribute or participate in the proposed solution.
You ask me for a contribution
Requesting support or assistance for the efforts being made.
Well, you know
Acknowledging the current contributions being made towards the desired change.
We're doing what we can
Asserting that individuals are doing their best within their capabilities.
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
If financial support is sought for those with hostile attitudes.
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Suggesting a delay in providing support to those with negative perspectives.
Don't you know it's gonna be
Anticipating an acceptable or permissible outcome.
All right, all right, all right
Repetition for emphasis, indicating reassurance or approval.
You say you'll change the constitution
Expressing a desire to alter established laws or principles.
Well, you know
Acknowledging the universal desire for a change in perspective.
We all want to change your head
Suggesting a need to change individual thought processes.
You tell me it's the institution
Attributing the need for change to existing social structures.
Well, you know
Highlighting the importance of liberating one's mind instead of external changes.
You better free you mind instead
Encouraging a shift in personal mindset or consciousness.
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
Warning against aligning with controversial or extreme figures like Chairman Mao.
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Suggesting that such alignment may hinder interpersonal connections.
Don't you know it's gonna be
Anticipating an acceptable or permissible outcome.
All right, all right, all right
Repetition for emphasis, indicating reassurance or approval.
All right, all right, all right
-All right, all right, all right
-All right, all right
