doing what we can

"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."
--  John Lennon

==============
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 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 want to 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
