Beatles, The - Revolution 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 gonna make it with anyone anyhow

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

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

    this is really spotty

    What if John had mentioned Pee Wee Clayton to anyone at any time?

  14. G.... G....

    Best Band EVER....Period

  15. s.... ....

    I love music man, you can just experience it, no strings or ego attached

  16. L.... B....

    Can anybody tell me why this version isn't the same as the single?
    This is a live version? I mean, live in the studio.

    L.... B....

    Leonardo Barbieri this is the single version

    L.... B....

    @Doodle Dangernoodle This is the single: https://youtu.be/JZpKhjQh6rw?list=PLMlgRiBrSE6NYCbA-mD3fkEvDPiaikKsO

  17. L.... F....

    JOHN LENNON ON LEAD GUITAR

  18. L.... ....

    It may sound funny, but I never was a Big Beatles Fan. But I really like the Tribute Band, " The Fab Four " a lot.
    Check them out -----

  19. C.... A....

    I'm so disappointed .... there were no close ups in this video 👀 😕

  20. J.... F....

    Count me out... IN.

  21. A.... J....

    it doesn't get any better

  22. T.... p....

    Who else is listening to every Beatles song in 2020

  23. J.... B....

    And then in the song Revolution 9, all the fun of thinking they can change the world with a revolution is gone. Instead, there is chaos, madness, and disorder. The song Revolution 2 is just a slower version of this song, but it is the first hint that they are beginning to understand the concept of revolution. Revolution 3-8 is them slowly learning what they've truly gotten themselves into.

    J.... B....

    This was recorded after both those other songs

  24. S.... ....

    Kayıt temiz değilken bile mükemmel

  25. T.... F....

    See folks, this is why the Beatles had to stop touring. The speakers were no match for their killer tunes. I do kind of like the organic distortion, quite a bit really.

  26. a.... l....

    Rivolution

  27. K.... H....

    You remind me of California road trips

  28. J.... J....

    7,5 thousands people whose disliked just were scared at 0:00

  29. M.... D....

    When you accidentally play Revolution 9 instead of Revolution

    0:07

    M.... D....

    Thatguynextdoor inthebasement thank you!!

    M.... D....

    @Maddie Donnelly no problemo

  30. S.... J....

    So I had a dream of John Lennon last night, he was a revolution... alright! More popular than Jesus. Just "Imagine" if he was still alive today? He died a little before I turn a year old. Just give peace a chance ✌🏼💜💙 ☮️

  31. T.... M....

    Nah...
    I like all beatles songs, but this one...
    Is Just Horrible, the audio is so bassed

  32. M.... F....

    What a cracking song the fab,4 were on fire when they did this one 😉

  33. W.... J....

    And some millenials say they were a "pop band." Lol.

  34. L.... M....

    Can you get this version of the song on vinyl?

    L.... M....

    Is this a serious question? It's one of the cuts on the White album.

    L.... M....

    @Eric Hammer this is a live version of the song. Obviously there is the acoustic version on the white album. But I really like this version, that has a mix of the single and the album version. I was just wondering if they ever put this exact recording on vinyl.

    L.... M....

    @Louis Mayes Ah, I misunderstood. I believe there is a comment below that identifies an album this specific version is on.

  35. g.... p....

    The version of this song revolution 9 is better

    g.... p....

    gavin parson
    Don’t do it... will warp your brain and ruin life.. NOT as good .. a fib and fraud!!!

    g.... p....

    gavin parson it’s not a version of this. It’s a completely different thing

  36. l.... d....

    john lennon free your mind.

  37. J.... R....

    Republican Party needs this song for 2020! Shut down Pelosi already!

  38. C.... P....

    fantastic

  39. S.... Y....

    Such a good song! :D

  40. C.... B....

    Every thing starts with one step true peace will not happen over night one person can't please the whole world but we have to try

  41. E.... C....

    I used to listen to this music from Minions after credits!

  42. E.... C....

    Play this at the Festival!

  43. F.... ....

    0:00 *watching by myself*
    1:53 *parents walk in*

    F.... ....

    Floridarulz best comment I’ve ever seen on a Beatles vid lmao

    F.... ....

    @Floridarulz I meant that face on my edited comment

  44. A.... M....

    Tall Faul.

  45. W.... H....

    yeah alright, shoby

  46. R.... S....

    Houston, Texas loving it 12/23/19

  47. W.... J....

    Who's on keyboard?

  48. D.... R....

    "You can count me out in" I'm confused.

    D.... R....

    It’s because back then they weren’t sure if what they needed was a violent revolution or not

  49. S.... ....

    *Hey Siri, play Revolution by The Beatles*

    Siri: Ok, playing revolution 9 by the Beatles.

    *Shut the f*ck up*

  50. M.... ....

    Sound quality sucks. Can't this get remastered?

    M.... ....

    What are you talking about? Audio's just fine, even better than the single record release.

  51. M.... M....

    Faul McCartney

  52. D.... I....

    Love the Beatles 4ever!!!!!! But I kept thinking of Bill Gates looking at John Lennon. .any relations? ?

  53. M.... G....

    ''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.''

  54. N.... ....

    George looks so beautiful in this video and that head movement at 0:14 can kill me

  55. A.... Z....

    nobody:
    vietnam documentaries:

  56. M.... S....

    🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤

  57. K.... S....

    This is what we need in the world, count me in!

  58. M.... S....

    this music goes straight into the stomach ... and stays inside for decades.

  59. M.... ....

    The music doesn't work so well as it all sounds distorted here. Wonder what all the Mums and Dads thought when the first time they heard it was this mess???

    M.... ....

    It’s not a mess, it’s supposed to sound distorted.

    M.... ....

    @John P The guitars are supposed to be distorted as opposed to all of it. Else all the versions would sound like this. The TV people just ran the sound too hot, like they lacked a meter bridge or the gear was faulty or something.

  60. H.... S....

    Opening cords are a fuzz box Johnny B. Goode. Shop and compare.

  61. m.... 6....

    The Fallen Kings:
    Stone in a bezel cup
    sawed, mounted, and soldered
    or, a band that is etched
    mordant, and asphaltum
    dapping punch, doming block
    and, a hammer and torch
    some mandrels to shape it
    some polish, bits, and cloth
    a sheet of fine silver
    that's annealed to make
    patinaed and brushed
    and, it's measured to take
    -J. Nienow

  62. E.... T....

    ♡♡♡

  63. S.... S....

    I love how they used to put forward their political views. Calling out Mao Zadong's admirers.

  64. J.... S....

    They didn't have any idea what gift they were giving us. Jonn said he was ready to end it because he felt they were getting stale. I wanted so much more. There wasn't ever anything stale with what they put out. It was one amazing gift after another.

  65. C.... ....

    The amount of fuzz lol

    C.... ....

    Designed to hide it's the opening riff to Johnny B. Goode.

    C.... ....

    @Happy Shitkicker I knew it sounded familiar

    C.... ....

    Happy Shitkicker what are you talking about. The “riff” here is one note, Chuck Berrys isn’t.

    C.... ....

    @John P stop being so pedantic. You know what I'm talking about.

  66. H.... ....

  67. s.... ....

    Wish they would have stayed together through the 1970's and penned some heavy rock songs..

    s.... ....

    studio7 they probably would have started to make bad music like all the boomer generation bands that didn’t know when to quit - the Stones being but one example

  68. S.... W....

    they just impeached trump yesterday...they say you wanna change the constitution? maybe all those congressmen should be sent to bed without their suppers & all be condemned to a life of
    listening to this song in 1 never ending computer loop!

  69. D.... B....

    Love to see George in the middle, I think that is the best order.

  70. M.... L....

    Trop bien 👍🏻 j’adore

  71. D.... t....

    The sound of that guitar sounds like a mistake but the same time awesome

  72. b.... ....

    Is this live?

    b.... ....

    Yes, always

  73. R.... R....

    The Best Intro In The World

  74. H.... ....

    Who’s playing keyboards off-screen here?

    H.... ....

    @RobloxEian Wrong!!!!!!!! It's Nicky Hopkins!!!!

    H.... ....

    Mitch Feder alright alright calm down. xD

    H.... ....

    @RobloxEian I dislike laziness. It would have taken about ten seconds of your time to fact check, but you toss out misinformation because it's no big deal, right?

    H.... ....

    Mitch Feder Well I thought it was Billy Preston and I still didn’t know Nicky Hopkins was with The Beatles. I may know them a lot but I’m still learning about them.

    H.... ....

    @RobloxEian Nicky Hopkins was the ultimate session man. He played with just about everyone. In fact, The Kinks song Session Man is about him.


    I get that you are just learning, but fact checking is so simple nowadays and there is no need to add to the mountain of misinformation already on the internet. :)

  75. T.... M....

    The intro sound abit like Johnny b Goode

    T.... M....

    It is. Shrouded in acid fuzz.

  76. A.... W....

    What’s the camera they used for this?

  77. A.... W....

    That dude looking like Tom cruise. Love it.

  78. P.... B....

    That was really great. That's the Beatles. Never equalled.

  79. i.... ....

    This heavily inspired the creation of a track of mine.

  80. y.... ....

    A song about reality and positivity. I love this song.

  81. O.... T....

    Nothing's deeper than the original..in anything.

  82. V.... L....

    They are good

  83. R.... W....

    The BEATLES!!!! were JOHN LENNON ans great band......

    R.... W....

    WHAT THEY COULDVE DONE........OVER THE YEARS.....

  84. B.... ....

    Então foi o John Lennon q inventou o barulho de moto q aparece no começo dos funks?

  85. B.... N....

    I hate these Extreme Close UP’s!!

  86. z.... ....

    The first Metal band ftw

  87. S.... O....

    Contrary to popular belief I officially declare this track (and this version), the Beatles' BEST EVER ROCKER : madder than Helter Skelter (2:00- 2:10 ...I rest my case), funkier than Get Back, more badass than Come Together, tougher than Back in the USSR.....get down, get down!

  88. G.... 5....

    This song really takes me back! 👴🏻🧕🏽

  89. V.... K....

    Song captures the essence of REAL Christianity....if we do our part and stay away from violence, God will bring the peace that we chase after with swords and pitchforks. Isnt it a bitter irony that the fake Christians burned the records of a singer who expressed the ideals of true Christianity? But that is always the way of man. The greater a word, the more it is usurped by liars and hypocrites. Too bad they forget that Christianity is not a mystery cult but a true moral philosophy.

  90. R.... C....
