You Who Will Do the Improving

You, who will do the improving,

Are the one who needs to be improved

And this also goes for society

You, who will do the improving

Are the one who needs to be improved

And this also goes for society

We can change society

We can get enormous enthusiasm going out

Of the idea that there is a revolution afoot, and

That this revolution is going to set everything to right

Do you know a revolution that ever set anything to right?

Whether the revolution came from the

Lеft wing or from the right wing?

The best forms of govеrnment that have ever

Existed in the world are those which muddled through

Where they didn't have any very clear set-up of

Control, but they muddle along

A kind of what are called controlled anarchy seems

To work out better than anything else

When we have a great system and great power to

Put it into effect, there is always more violence

More bloodshed, more trouble

Always more violence, more bloodshed, more trouble

Always more violence, more bloodshed, more trouble

It makes no difference whether it be

Chairman Mao or Adolf Hitler

You, who will do the improving, are the

One who needs to be improved

And this also goes for society

You, who will do the improving, are the

One who needs to be improved
