“Revolution” by Beatles written by John Lennon under “The white album."
The song talks about rebellion in terms of political protest of the year 1968. The writer
manifested commiseration with the need for a revolution about the Vietnam War. Inversely, he is
in doubt due to the violent strategies embraced by members of the activist movement of the
1960s (THE LEFT). Typically, the song did not only rebel the political situations but also
revealed how people suffered due to the political wrangles.
The writer was animated by the citizens’ demur, especially university comrades. The
protest against the Vietnam War was the upshot of the Great Offensive and upspring of Tet Mau
Than in North Vietnam against South Vietnamese and the United States military. “We all want to
change the world," the line confess cosmopolitan affirm, which was more severe in the United
States. Some of the great riots that confirms the writer’s path were the protests of Poland and
France both in the year 1968. The line “Don't you know that you can count me out” exhibits the
writer’s ambivalence about catastrophic transformation. The temblor denotes the increase in
politicization, youth evolution, and rise of the activist’s ideology of the early 1960s. The writer
confesses that Maoism was an impeccable form of rebellion. “But if you go carrying pictures of
Chairman Mao/You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow," the line advocates for Mao’s
ideology of expunging capitalists and the merchants. Additionally, Lennon was pressured to
advocate for the revolutionary course by the moist groups, thus leading to the composure.
Primarily, the song “revolution” expressed the positivity in rebellion and the demand for
revolution. Into the bargain, anti-establishment traits were exposed as the lyrics campaigned for
social change even though it preferred moral to an ideological justification of political actions.
Nevertheless, the phrase “it’s gonna be Alright” is extracted from the “Transcendental
Meditation” that meant God’s protection despite the political disputes.
