Okay
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
When you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out, in?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
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 all doing what we can
If you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is, brother, you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We'd all love to change your head (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
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? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
Don't you know it's gonna be alright? (Oh, shoo-be-do-wop)
All, all, all, all (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
All, all, all, alright (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
Alright, alright (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
Alright, alright (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
Alright, alright (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
Alright, alright (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
Alright (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
(Ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
(Ah, shoo-be-do-wop)

(Ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
Alright, alright (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
Alright, alright (ah, shoo-be-do-wop)
