MIND GAMES
By John Lennon
We're playing those mind games together,
Pushing the barrier, planting seeds.
Playing the mind guerrilla,
Chanting the mantra peace on earth.
We all been playing those mind games forever,
Some kind of druid dudes lifting the veil.
Doing the mind guerrilla,
Some call it magic the search for the grail.
Love is the answer,
And you know that for sure.
Love is a flower,
You gotta let it, you gotta let it grow.
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Faith in the future out of the now.
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas,
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind.
Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever,
Projecting our images in space and in time.
Yes is the answer,
And you know that for sure.
Yes is surrender,
You gotta let it, you gotta let it go.
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Doing the ritual dance in the sun.
Millions of mind guerrillas,
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel.
Keep on playing those mind games forever,
Raising the spirit of peace and love.
Love .
I want you to make love, not war,
I know you've heard it before.
I want you to make love.
TIGHT A$
By John Lennon
Well, just a$ tight a$ you can make it,
Hard and slow ain't hard enough.
Just a$ tight a$ you can shake it, girl,
Git it on and do your stuff.
Tight a$ you can get it,
Tight a$ got it made.
Uptight's alright, but if you can't stand the heat,
You better get back in the shade.
Well, just a$ tight a$ an Indian rope trick,
Long and tough ain't hard enough.
Just a$ tight a$ a dope fiend's fix, my friend,
Git it up and do your stuff.
Tight a$ you can boogie,
Tight a$ got it laid.
Uptight's alright, but if you can't stand the heat,
You better get back in the shade.
Well, alright.
Well, tight a$ got me cornered,
Tight a$ got me laid,
Tight a$ strut, your stuff so tough,
Just a-sittin' in the midnight shade.
Well, ho!
Oh!
Oh yeah!
AISUMASEN (I'M SORRY)
By John Lennon
When I'm down, really yin,
And I don't know what I'm doing,
Aisumasen,
Aisumasen, Yoko.
All I had to do was call your name,
All I had to do was call your name.
And when I hurt you and cause you pain,
Darlin', I promise, I won't do it again.
Aisumasen,
Aisumasen, Yoko.
It's hard enough I know just to feel your own pain,
It's hard enough I know to feel, feel your own pain.
All that I know is just what you tell me,
All that I know is just what you show me.
And when I'm down, real sanpaku,
And I don't know what to do,
Aisumasen,
Aisumasen, Yoko san.
All I had to was call your name,
Yes, all I had to do was call your name.
ONE DAY (AT A TIME)
By John Lennon
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 are the tree.
One day at a time is all we do,
One day at a time is good for
You (yeah),
You (yeah),
You (yeah),
You.
You are my woman,
I am your man,
Nothing else matters at all,
Now I understand
That I'm the door and you are the key.
And ev'ry 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 two (yeah),
You too (yeah),
You (yeah),
You.
'Cause I'm the fish and you are the sea,
'Cause I'm the apple and you are the tree,
'Cause I'm the door and you are the key,
'Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee.
BRING ON THE LUCIE (FREDA PEOPLE)
By John Lennon
"Alright, boys, this is it, over the hill!"
We don't care what flag you're waving,
We don't even want to know your name.
We don't care where you're from or where you're going,
All we know it that you came.
You're making all our decisions,
We have just one request of you,
That while you're thinking things over,
Here's something you just better do.
Free the people now (do it, do it, do it, do it),
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it, do it).
Free the people now (do it, do it, do it, do it),
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
Well, we were caught with our hands in the air,
Don't despair, paranoia's ev'rywhere.
We can shake it with love when we're scared,
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer.
We understand your paranoia,
But we don't wanna play your game.
You think you're cool and know what you are doing,
666 is your name.
So while you're jerking off each other,
You better bear this thought in mind.
Your time is up, you better know it,
But maybe you don't read the signs.
Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill,
And you still gotta swallow your pill,
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed.
Stop the killing!
(Free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now)
(Do it, do it, do it, do it)
Stop the killing!
(Free the people now) (Do it, do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, do it.
Bring on the Lucie!
(Free the people now) (Do it, do it, do it)
INTUITION
By John Lennon
Hey, hey, hey, alright,
Hey, hey, hey, alright.
My intentions are good, I use my intuition,
It takes me for a ride.
But I never understood other people's superstitions,
It seemed like suicide.
And as I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and ev'ry day.
And when I struggle in the night,
The magic of the music seems to light the way.
Ah, intuition takes me there,
Intuition takes me ev'rywhere.
Well, my instincts are fine, I had to learn to use them
In order to survive.
And time after time, confirmed an old suspicion,
It's good to be alive.
And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say,
It's then I realise,
It's only a condition of seeing things that way.
Takes me anywhere, alright.
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there...
OUT THE BLUE
By John Lennon
Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life's misery.
Out the blue life's energy,
Out the blue you came to me.
Ev'ry day I thank the lord and lady
For the way that you came to me.
Anyway, it had to be,
Two minds, one destiny.
All my life has been a long slow knife,
I was born just to get to you.
Anyway, I survived
Long enough to make you my wife.
Like a U.F.O. you came to me
And blew away life's misery.
Out the blue life's energy,
Out the blue you came to me.
ONLY PEOPLE
By John Lennon
Let's go!
Only people know just how to talk to people,
Only people know just how to change the world,
Only people realise the power of people.
Well, a million heads are better than one,
So come on, git it on!
Well, I know how we tried,
The millions of tears that we cried.
Now we are hipper, we been thru the trip.
And we can't be denied,
With woman and man side by side.
Make no mistake, it's our future we're making,
Bake the cake and eat it too.
We don't want no pig brother scene.
Well, it's long overdue,
There ain't nothing better to do.
Now we are hipper, we been thru the trip.
We can fly right on thru,
There's nothing on earth we can't do.
Fish or cut bait, it's our future we're making,
All together now, pull the chain.
We don't want no pig brother scene!
Alright, boogie! Let's go!
Keep on, keep it on!
I KNOW (I KNOW)
By John Lennon
The years have passed so quickly,
One thing I understood,
I'm 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, yes, I am,
But I never could read your 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, yeh,
Right now,
I love you more, right 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 mind.
No more crying...
YOU ARE HERE
By John Lennon
"Nine!"
From Liverpool to Tokyo,
What a way to go.
From distant lands,
One woman, one man,
Let the four winds blow.
Three thousand miles over the ocean.
Three thousand light-years
From the land of the rising sun.
Love has opened my eyes,
Love has blown right through.
Wherever you are, (wherever you are),
You are here (you are here).
Wherever you are (wherever you are),
You are here (you are here).
Three thousand miles over the ocean.
Three thousand light-years
From the land of surprising sun.
Well, now east is east
And west is west,
The twain shall meet.
East is west and west is east,
Let it be complete.
Three thousand miles over the ocean.
Three thousand light-years
From the land of the morning star.
MEAT CITY
By John Lennon
Well!
I been meat city to see for myself,
Well, I been meat city to see for myself,
Been meat city, been meat city,
Just got to give me some rock and roll.
People were dancing like there's no tomorrow, meat city.
