One small error in these lyrics makes such a huge change in the interpretation.
The line 'Don't you know that you can count me in', should read 'Don't you know that you can count me out'.
John didn't advocate violence, in fact he also says 'If you want money for people with minds that hate, all I can tell you is buddy you'll have to wait'
To me it's obvious that he's saying that revolution is fine, but if you advocate violence you'll get no support from me, either morally or financially.

I believe these are the lyrics of the original, a.k.a. Revolution 1, NOT Revolution.
