Revolution - Beatles, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Revolution (Beatles, The, 1968). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2024-01-19. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Revolution," written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, was the Beatles' 31st top 20 hit landing at the no. 12 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968. The Beatles provided multiple version of "Revolution," the single version ("B" side of "Hey Jude"), the White Album version, multiple outtake versions, the Esher Demo version, and so on. Here is a combo version mostly aligned with the single version. "There are so many versions of this song because Paul McCartney didn't like it. Lennon really wanted this song to be the 'A' side of the single instead of 'Hey Jude,' and kept changing it around to come up with something that would make Paul see it his way. He basically wrote the song because he felt like he was being pulled in so many directions by different people, all of whom wanted his backing, politically. It was also him questioning his own belief in the revolution that was going on... whether he was 'out' or 'in.' In truth, he was writing about a revolution of the mind rather than a physical 'in the streets' revolution. He truly believed that revolution comes from inner change rather than social violence" (songfacts, 2024).

Lyrics:
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
Alright
Alright
Alright
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 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
Alright
Alright
Alright
Al
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'd better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
