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

You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be 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 all doing what we can

If you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right

You say you'd change the constitution
Well you know
We'd all love 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 gonna make it with anyone anyhow

You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right

Grandaddy is an American indie rock band from Modesto, California, formed in 1992 by Jason Lytle (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Kevin Garcia (bass guitar), Aaron Burtch (drums). Jim Fairchild (guitar) and Tim Dryden (keyboards) joined the band in 1995.

After several self-released records and cassettes, the band signed to Will Records in the US and later the V2 subsidiary Big Cat Records in the UK, going on to sign an exclusive deal with V2. The bulk of the band’s recorded output was the work of Lytle, who worked primarily in home studios. The band released four studio albums before splitting in 2006, with band members going on to solo careers and other projects. Grandaddy reformed in 2012 making a number of live appearances.

In 2015, lead singer Jason Lytle indicated the group was creating new music. They performed in August 2016 in Modesto, California at their first live show since 2012, releasing their fifth studio album Last Place in March 2017.
