God is a concept,
By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me, Yoko and me, And that's reality. The dream is over, What can I say? The dream is over, Yesterday, I was dreamweaver, But now I'm reborn, I was the walrus, But now I'm John, And so dear friends, You just have to carry on, The dream is over. |

People say we got it made,
Don't they know we're so afraid, Isolation, We're afraid to be alone, Everybody got to have a home, I-Isolation. Just a boy and a little girl, Trying to change the whole wide world, I-Isolation, The world is just a little town, Everybody trying to put us down, I-I-Isolation. I don't expect you to understand, After you caused so much pain, But then again you're not to blame, You're just a human, a victim of the insane. We're afraid of everyone, Afraid of the sun, I-I-Isolation, The sun will never disappear, But the world may not have many years, I-I-Isolation! |

Remember when you were young,
How the hero was never hung, Always got away, Remember how the man, Used to leave you empty handed, Always, always let you down, If you ever change your mind, About leaving it all behind, Remember, remember today. Don't you worry, 'Bout what you've done, Don't feel sorry, 'Bout the way it's gone. Remember when you were small, How people seemed so tall, Always had their way, Do you remember your ma and pa, Just wishing for movie stardom Always, always playing a part, If you ever feel so sad, And the whole world is driving you mad, Remember, remember today. Don't feel sorry, 'Bout the way it's gone, Don't you worry, 'Bout what you've done, Remember, remember the fifth of November. (Explosion) |

So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise,
You better see right through that mother's eyes. Those freaks was right when they said you was dead. The one mistake you made was in your head. Tell me, how do you sleep? Tell me, how do you sleep at night? You live with straights who tell you you was king. Jump when your momma tell you any thing. The only thing you done was Yesterday, And since your gone you're just another day. Tell me, how do you sleep at night? Tell me, how do you sleep at night? Ah, how do you sleep at night? A pretty face may last a year or two, But pretty soon they'll see what you can do. The sound you make is Muzak to my ears. You must have learned something in all those years. Ah, how do you sleep, brother? Ah, tell me how do you sleep at night? |

If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead You should have the luck of the Irish And you'd wish you was English instead! A thousand years of torture and hunger Drove the people away from their land A land full of beauty and wonder Was raped by the British brigands God damn! God damn! If you could keep voices like flowers There'd be shamrock all over the world If you could drink dreams like Irish streams Then the world would be high as the mountain of mourne In the 'Pool they told us the story How the English divided the land Of the pain, the death and the glory And the poets of auld Eireland If we could make chains with the morning dew The world would be like Galway Bay Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns The world would be one big Blarney stone Why the hell are the English there anyway? As they kill with God on their side Blame it all on the kids the IRA As the bastards commit genocide Aye, aye.. genocide If you had the luck of the Irish You'd be sorry and wish you was dead You should have the luck of the Irish And you'd wish you was English instead Yes you'd wish you was English instead |

You are my weakness, you are my strength
Nothing I have in the world makes better sense Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea When we're together or when we're apart There's never a space in between the beat of our hearts Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree One day at a time is all we do One day at a time is good for you You are my woman, I am your man Nothing else matters at all, now I understand That I'm the door and you're the key Every morning I wake in your smile Feeling your breath on my face and the love in your eyes Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee One day at a time is all we do One day at a time is good for us too (you too) Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree Cause I'm the door and you're the key Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee |

The years have passed so quickly
One thing I've understood I am only learning To tell the trees from wood I know what's coming down And I know where it's coming from And I know and I'm sorry (yes I am) But I never could speak my mind And I know just how you feel And I know now what I have done And I know and I'm guilty But I never could speak my mind I know what I was missing But now my eyes can see I put myself in your place As you did for me Today I love you more than yesterday Right now I love you more right now Now I know what's coming down I can feel where it's coming from And I know it's getting better all the time As we share in each other's minds |

(Audience) John! John! John! John! -"John, Yoko, John, Yoko, John, Yoko, John. I'll tell you what, oh, cool it, cool it! I would suspect that John Lennon is probably one of the wisest showman I've ever met. He knows what he's doin'! He did two things, he did two... shhhh! Please! He did two things tonight. He came here to help, one, I think this was the primary purpose of his visit. And, two, he meant to say something. I think he did both those things. He has split. Let's thank them very much!" |

All my little plans and schemes, Lost like some forgotten dreams.
Seems that all I really was doing, Was waiting for you. Just like little girls and boys, Playing with their little toys. Seems like all they really were doing, Was waiting for love. Don't need to be alone, No need to be alone. It's real love, it's real. Yes, it's real love, it's real. From this moment on I know, Exactly where my life will go. Seems that all I really was doing, Was waiting for love. Don't need to be afraid, No need to be afraid, It's real love, it's real, Yes, it's real love, it's real. Thought I'd been in love before But in my heart, I wanted more Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you. Don't need to be alone, Don't need to be alone. It's real love, it's real. It's real love, it's real. Yes, it's real love, it's real. It's real love, it's real. |

You tell me you found Jesus Christ Well that's great and he's the only one You say you just found Buddha Sittin' on his ass in the sun You say you found Mohammed Kneeling on a bloody carpet facin' the East You say you found Krishna With a bald head dancin' in the street ('Well, Christ, now you're being heard') You got to serve yourself Ain't nobody gonna do for you You got to serve yourself Ain't nobody gonna do for you ('that's right, lad, you better get that straight into your fuckin' head') You got to serve yourself ('you know that, who else is gonna do it for you, it ain't me I tell you that') Well, you may believe in Jesus, and you may believe in Marx And you may believe in Marks and Spencer's and you may believe in bloody Woolworths But there's something missing in this whole bloody stew And it's your mother, your poor bloody mother ('she worked for you in the back bedroom, full of piss and shit and fuckin' midwives. God, you can't forget that awful moment, you know. You should have been in the bloody war, lad, and you would know all about it. Well, I'll tell you something.') It's still the same old story A Holy bloody War, you know, with the Pope and all that stuff A fight for love and glory Ain't gonna study no more war A fight for God and country, and the Queen and all that We're gonna set you free Bomb you back into the fuckin' Stone Age If you won't be like me, you know, get down on your knees and pray Well there's somethin' missing in this God Almighty stew And it's your goddamn mother you dirty little git, now get in there and wash yer ears! NOTE: "[This song] was right after Dylan's song [...] "You Gotta Serve Someone", you know - the lord, I suppose, you know. So then he was kind of upset about that and it was a dialogue, you know. In that sense it's fun, I mean you can hear it was fun. He wasn't seriously against it. He showed his anger in a way but also [...] his sense of humour." (Yoko Ono, 1998) |

Hello, hello, testing, testing
At this time of year... oh, let me first introduce myself Maybe you have heard me before, I am the great wok And as you know, the great wok must be done Now, at this time of year when brahama is in Brahma The day of Brahma is set to last one thousand years and its night is of equal length Well, for us human being, this is the end of the year now And our minds turns towards what is laughably called the future No mind can comprehend the infinite and absolute anon munsch mars stunvelly humpff As we say in the Himalayas Now let me tell you, my resolution of the year 1979 is to renounce complete everything But complete luxury and self indulgence Now I suggest this is going to be very, very difficult, very difficult indeed I feel it's my duty, not only as a human being but as a person Or was it not George Formy who said there are four billion three hundred and twenty million Mortal or earth years which is one day of Brahma So, one way of looking at it is simply not to look at it at all And that's exactly what we're going to do now So we'll settle down, deeply, I hope, and comfortably in an easy chair And then, lay back, put the incense on, light the candles and give yourself a hard time |

Well, thank you, Mr. Jitters
Thank you, Mr. Jitters The official soviet newspaper said, the temple members have protested the mindless arms waste from the filthy war in Vietnam. And were persecuted and finally forced to seek refuge in another country. Wow. Sounds like a ballad to me, oh man Bankok, Thailand, they've launched an air-sea search for a fishing boat carrying some foreign Vietnamese refugees, the boat was towed back out to sea for a ride in Thailand. Sources said that it was because of a breakdown in communication. Oh lord, the boat was towed into Thai waters by a German freighter and the Thai navy are unaware that the refugees have been guaranteed a resettlement and worst the only took the boat out to sea after providing all passengers with provision Hey, that's deep man The Chinese newspapers have made the first reference to the country's curtain wall posted campaign according to vice premiar deng xiaoping. And said that the country's stable and its leaders are confident and planning modernisation and programs., oh this should get me in the village bar Deng gave blessing to the campaig but he commented not all the opinionsof the masses are carefully thought out nor can we demand that they all be correct. Adding this is nothing terrible. It' bad enough, but its not terrible From a prison, Richard Nixon, on his second trip outside the United States, sent his resignation with a smiling hand shake politician again. Greedy crowds outside his hotel, and trying a little French They sure as hell didn't try it on Pam Nixon, Mr. Nixon is in Paris and inside this suite to be interviewed on French television. They thought of going on to deliver a speech in England, he'll participate in the French collegue program and said he will answer questions in welsh That's pretty big Mr. M. Ahhh, I'm so cynical, I could just keep on doing this forever because, you know, they ain't gonna be lookin' for my golden bunions in a hundred years from now. They're gonna be sellin' my socks like judy garland. And I hope that they get a good price. I mean, with the inflation and the price of rice. Man, I shouldn't worry, I own all my songs and I wrote them myself too I got 24 children, 14 wives, 3 mistresses, 59 accountants, 105 lawyers, 2000.000 fans, a posted system that never fails to land me in jail. And look through my mail. Perhaps have a garage sale. And you know, go save the whale, and a..you know, get a boat and go for a sail, and, and, oh, oh, oh, oh, how do you get out of this hell? Stuck inside of a lexicon with the roger thesaurus blues again Sometimes I wish I was just George Harrison, you know all the answers, oh my god, oh my god |
