Revolution
Lennon/McCartney

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 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 you 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

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:00-0:06 * NEW *
In the centre, (better audible by listening left-only), you can hear a click track.
0:02
John changes guitar tone (not as in tone switch, I mean sounds different) - due to drum channel being faded in . Cross talk between the guitar and drum channel cause it to phase slightly. * NEW * Also attributed to headphone leakage as John's vocal faded in?
0:12 * NEW *
An edit in the word "well"?
0:23
Mistake in vocals - sounds like "evol tution" due to second vocal. This is a double tracking error, the original line was faded out and fades in as "in-sti-tution, well you know"
0:59
Someone says "RAahght", right channel
1:22
Double skip on snare sound. Edit? Playing error?
1:44
Second voice is late for "Alright"
2:15
Stray notes from the guitar (centre)
2:21
"Head" out of place by second voice
2:57
"Alright" out of place by second singer
3:15
Voice in background says something like "Thank you/That's it"
