"Revolution" - The Beatles

For those who are old enough to remember The Beatles :)

Their song "Revolution" was written in 1968 when the country
was in political upheaval (once again:).  This time over the
Vietnam War.  Lyndon Johnson was in office, and considered
the "New Left."  Richard Nixon was running for office ,
 a conservative... After he was in office, he was found to be
 a "crook" - hmmmm.  He eventually resigned...
I was 18 at college in Boston going to peace rallies on
Boston Common :)

John Lennon, one of the writers of the song, wasn't sure he
wanted to publish it because he felt it might be considered
too controversial...

One evening recently the words of the song just popped into
my head...  So I looked up the lyrics and felt it was appropriate
to post for our times as well...

I've taken the liberty of adding a heading just before each
refrain in brackets - a little dark humor - as we move through another
dark passage in our history...

Revolution

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 wanna change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

[MAGA refrain]

Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright
Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We are 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

[MAGA refrain]

Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright
Alright

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

[MAGA refrain]

Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright
Alright

Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
