"Revolution 1" is a song written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and recorded by The Beatles for their 1968 album The Beatles. In one of the final interviews he gave before his death in 1980, Lennon reaffirmed the pacifist sentiments expressed in "Revolution" despite the criticism he initially received upon release. Background & Composition By and large, the Beatles had avoided publicly expressing their political views in their music, with "Taxman" being their only overtly political track thus far.
