Revolution
Embracing Change: A Musical Call for Revolution
Lyrics
Take two
Expression of readiness or agreement to proceed
Okay
Acknowledgment or agreement
You say you want a revolution
Stating the desire for a revolution
Well, you know
Acknowledgment of the common aspiration for change
We all want to change the world
Universal desire for societal transformation
You tell me that it's evolution
Describing the change as an evolutionary process
Well, you know
Reiteration of the collective wish for change
We all want to change the world
Universal desire for societal transformation
But when you talk about destruction
Concern about destructive aspects of the revolution
Don't you know that you can count me out (in)
Expressing a refusal to participate in destructive actions
Don't you know it's gonna be
Pose of a rhetorical question about the outcome
All right?
Seeking confirmation that everything will be fine
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reassurance about the positive outcome
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Repeated affirmation of a positive future
You say you got a real solution
Claiming to possess a practical solution
Well, you know
Emphasizing the willingness to see a plan
We'd all love to see the plan
Expressing the desire for a collective strategy
You ask me for a contribution
Request for a contribution to the cause
Well, you know
Acknowledgment of everyone doing their part
We're all doing what we can
Recognition of collective efforts
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
If seeking funds for those with hateful minds, patience is advised
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Implying a delayed response for support
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reiteration of a positive future
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Repeated affirmation of a positive future
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reassurance about the positive outcome
You say you'll change the constitution
Claiming the intention to change fundamental laws
Well, you know
Reiterating the desire for a change in mindset
We'd all love to change your head
Desire for a change in someone's way of thinking
You tell me it's the institution
Attributing the need for change to established systems
Well, you know
Advocating for a liberated mindset
You better free your mind instead
Encouraging mental freedom over conformity
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
Discouraging allegiance to Chairman Mao's ideology
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Skepticism about the effectiveness of such allegiance
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reiteration of a positive future
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Repeated affirmation of a positive future
Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)
Reassurance about the positive outcome
All, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all right
Repetition emphasizing collective agreement
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right
Final affirmation of a positive future
