Revolution

John Lennon, a man of peace, addresses his ideas of revolution is quite a "revolutionary" manner.
"Revolution 1" is a slower version of the popular single "Revolution" that was released about 3 months before "The White Album" in which this track is found.
The song, I feel provides the world with a breathe of fresh air. It's preaching to fight for what you believe in during a time when oppression was at it's peek. Whether your demons were provided by the Russian communist government, "chairman mao" ze dong, or the people who were forcing another bloody war on America, Lennon preached to free your mind of the institution. Revolution wasn't about anarchy or fighting back in Lennon's eyes, It was about freeing yourself from the inside. Lennon preached love and peace always, that's no question, and "Revolution 1"'s message is no different; If you pursue a revolution against evil with peace and love, It's going to be alright.
