Did ever disavow the most conservative song ever written: “Revolution”?
IMO, it would be very helpful to know what magazine that interview was from.
John Lennon was a bit all over the place in a lot of respects but I think there is some insight from his song Revolution (although I don't consider it the most "conservative" song ever written), I still like it.
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 all right
All right, all right
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 doing what we can
But when 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 all right
All right, all right
Ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
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 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 it's gonna be all right
All right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
