The song discusses revolution but suggests a non-violent, mental revolution is needed rather than destruction. It acknowledges people want change but says you can "count me out" of talks about destruction and won't "make it with anyone anyhow" if you promote violence or chairman Mao. The song suggests "freeing your mind instead" of unrealistic or destructive plans and that in the end "it's gonna be all right."
