Rock On Democracy
If you were around in 1968 you remember what a fearsome time of social unrest it was. If this is all new to you, you can get a brief history of the level of worldwide turmoil in the streets at this Wikipedia link to the Beatles’ “Revolution.” You’ll see the parallels to today’s turmoil.
The song’s theme is timeless, crosses all cultures and speaks loudly now that it’s our time again to make serious, life-altering choices.
What goes around comes around. Rock on. Democracy.
“Revolution”
Lyrics
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.
Don’t you know that you can count me out.
Alright, alright.
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.
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
