[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 alright

[Bridge]
Alright
Alright

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
You know we're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright

[Bridge]
Alright
Alright

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
You better free you 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

[Bridge]
Alright
Alright

[Outro]
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

Founded in 1989 in San Diego by vocalist Scott Weiland and bassist Robert DeLeo, the Stone Temple Pilots exploded onto the music industry while riding the coattails of the Grunge scene of the early 1990s.

While they fell into more of a post-grunge genre, the Stone Temple Pilots (STP for short) has a more unique sound, comparable to the likes of Led Zeppelin and The Doors. Robert DeLeo and his brother/lead guitarist Dean DeLeo’s frantic craftsmanship of their riffs, specifically, gave STP an eclectic and psychedelic sound. Drummer Eric Kretz’s slow and groovy style, and Weiland’s low picturesque vocals filled out the rest of the bands old-school sound.

STP released their debut album, Core, in 1992, and instantly became a rock powerhouse. Off of the success of the singles “Plush” and “Creep,” Core would go on to sell over eight million copies in the U.S. Though commercially and fan friendly, STP’s sound was disliked by many critics due to their similarity in style to previous Grunge bands.
