IMAGINE
By John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people
Living for today, ah-ha-ah.
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace, you.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world, you.
CRIPPLED INSIDE
By John Lennon
You can shine your shoes and wear a suit,
You can comb your hair and look quite cute,
You can hide your face behind a smile.
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside.
You can wear a mask and paint your face,
You can call yourself the human race,
You can wear a collar and a tie.
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside.
Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe,
Nine lives to itself.
But you only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun,
Mama, take a look outside.
Go!
You can go to church and sing a hymn,
You can judge me by the colour of my skin,
You can live a lie until you die.
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside.
Take it, brother!
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside...
JEALOUS GUY
By John Lennon
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast.
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry,
Oh my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.
I was feeling insecure,
You might not love me any more.
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside.
I was tryin' to catch your eyes,
Thought that you was tryin' to hide.
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.
Watch out,
I'm just a jealous guy,
Look out, babe,
I'm just a jealous guy.
IT'S SO HARD
By John Lennon
You gotta live,
You gotta love,
You gotta be somebody,
You gotta shove.
But it's so hard,
It's really hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
You gotta eat,
You gotta drink,
You gotta feel something,
You gotta worry.
But it's so hard,
It's really hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
But when it's good, it's really good,
And when I hold you in my arms, baby,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
You gotta run,
You gotta hide,
You gotta keep your woman satisfied.
I DON'T WANNA BE A SOLDIER
By John Lennon
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama,
I don't wanna die.
Well, I don't wanna be a sailor, mama,
I don't wanna fly.
Well, I don't wanna be a failure, mama,
I don't wanna cry.
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama,
I don't wanna die.
Oh no, oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
Well, I don't wanna be a rich man, mama,
I don't wanna cry.
Well, I don't wanna be a poor man, mama,
I don't wanna fly.
Well, I don't wanna be a lawyer, mama,
I don't wanna lie.
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama,
I don't wanna die.
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama,
I don't wanna die.
Well, I don't wanna be a thief now, mama,
I don't wanna fly.
Well, I don't wanna be a churchman, mama,
I don't wanna cry.
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama,
I don't wanna die.
GIVE ME SOME TRUTH
By John Lennon
I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics.
All I want is the truth,
Just give me some truth.
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig headed politicians.
No short haired, yellow bellied son of tricky dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a pocketful of hope.
Money for dope, money for rope.
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mommies little chauvinists.
All I want is the truth,
Just give me some truth now.
I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego centric, paranoic, prima donnas.
All I want is the truth now,
Just give me some truth.
I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics.
All i want is the truth now,
Just give me some truth now.
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig headed politicians.
All I want is the truth now,
Just give me some truth now...
OH MY LOVE
By John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Oh, my love, for the first time in my life,
My eyes are wide open.
Oh, my lover, for the first time in my life,
My eyes can see.
I see the wind, oh, I see the trees,
Ev'rything is clear in my heart.
I see the clouds, oh, I see the sky,
Ev'rything is clear in our world.
Oh, my love, for the first time in my life,
My mind is wide open.
Oh, my lover, for the first time in my life,
My mind can feel.
I feel sorrow, oh, I feel dreams,
Ev'rything is clear in my heart.
I feel life, oh, I feel love,
Ev'rything is clear in our world.
So Sergeant Pepper took you by surprise,
You better see right thru that mother's eyes.
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead,
The one mistake you made was in your head.
Oh, how do you sleep?
Oh, how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king,
Jump when your mama tell you anything.
The only thing you done was "Yesterday",
And since you're gone you've just "Another Day".
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.
HOW?
By John Lennon
How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn?
How can I go forward into something I'm not sure of?
Oh no,
Oh no.
How can I have feeling when I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no,
Oh no.
You know life can be long,
And you got to be so strong.
And the world is so tough,
Sometimes I feel I've had enough.
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
How can I give love when I just don't know how to give?
How can I give love when love is something I ain't never had?
Oh no,
Oh no.
How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something we're not sure of?
Oh no,
Oh no.
OH YOKO!
By John Lennon
In the middle of the night,
In the middle of the night I call your name.
Oh, Yoko,
Oh, Yoko,
My love will turn you on.
In the middle of a bath,
In the middle of a bath I call your name.
In the middle of a shave,
In the middle of a shave I call your name.
In the middle of a dream,
In the middle of a dream I call your name.
Right!
In the middle of a cloud,
In the middle of a cloud I call your name.
