MOTHER
By John Lennon
Mother, you had me, but I never had you.
I, I wanted you, you didn't want me.
So I, I just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Father, you left me, but I never left you.
I needed you, you didn't need me.
So I, I just gotta tell you, mm,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Children, don't do what I have done.
I couldn't walk and I tried to run.
So I, I just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Mama, don't go,
Daddy, come home...
HOLD ON (JOHN)
By John Lennon
Hold on, John,
John, hold on, it's gonna be alright.
You gonna win the fight.
Hold on, Yoko,
Yoko, hold on, it's gonna be alright.
You gonna make the flight.
When you're by yourself
And there's no one else,
You just have yourself
And you tell yourself
Just to hold on.
Hold on, world,
World, hold on, it's gonna be alright.
You gonna see the light.
Oh, and when you're one,
Really one,
Well, you get things done
Like they've never been done,
So hold on.
I FOUND OUT
By John Lennon
I told you before stay away from my door,
Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother.
The freaks on the phone, won't leave me alone,
So don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother.
No!
I, I found out,
I, I found out.
Now that I showed you what I've been through,
Don't take nobody's word what you can do.
There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky,
Now that I found out, I know I can cry.
Some of you sittin' there with your cock in your hand,
Don't get you nowhere, don't make you a man.
I heard something 'bout my ma and my pa,
They didn't want me so they made me a star.
Old hare Krishna got nothing on you,
Just keep you crazy with nothing to do.
Keep you occupied with pie in the sky,
There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes.
I seen the junkies, I've been through it all,
I've seen religions from Jesus to Paul.
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine,
No one can harm you, feel your own pain.
I, I found out,
I, found this out,
I, I found out.
Oh!
WORKING CLASS HERO
By John Lennon
As soon as you're born, they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all.
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all.
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool.
Till you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules.
When they tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career.
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free.
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see.
There's room at the top, they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill.
If you want to be like the folks on the hill.
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me,
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me.
ISOLATION
By John Lennon
People say we got it made,
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation.
We're afraid to be alone,
Ev'rybody got to have a home.
Isolation.
Just a boy and a little girl,
Tryin' to change the whole wide world.
Isolation.
The world is just a little town,
Ev'rybody tryin' to put us down.
Isolation!
I don't expect you to understand,
After you've 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 ev'ryone,
Afraid of the sun.
Isolation.
The sun will never disappear,
But the world may not have many years.
Isolation!
REMEMBER
By John Lennon
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, hey, hey.
And don't feel sorry
The way it's gone.
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done.
Just remember when you were small
How people seemed so tall,
Always had their way, hey, hey.
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, hey, hey.
And don't feel sorry
'bout the way it's gone.
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done.
No, no, remember,
Remember,
The fifth of november!
LOVE
By John Lennon
Love is real, real is love,
Love is feeling, feeling love,
Love is wanting to be loved.
Love is touch, touch is love,
Love is reaching, reaching love,
Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you,
You and me.
Love is knowing
We can be.
Love is free, free is love,
Love is living, living love,
Love is needing to be loved.
Look at me,
Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
Look at me,
What am I supposed to be?
What am I supposed to be?
Look at me.
Oh, my love,
Oh, my love.
Here I am,
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
Here I am.
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
Here I am.
Oh, my love,
Oh, my love.
Look at me,
Oh, please, look at me, my love.
Here I am,
Oh, my love.
Who am I?
Nobody knows but me,
Nobody knows but me.
Who am I?
Nobody else can see,
Just you and me.
Who are we?
Oh, my love,
Oh, my love,
Oh, my love.
GOD
By John Lennon
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
I'll say it again.
God is a concept by which we measure our pain,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in i-ching,
Don't believe in Bible,
Don't believe in tarot,
Don't believe in Hitler,
Don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy,
I don't believe in Buddah,
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 the dreamweaver, but now I'm reborn.
I was the walrus, but now I'm john.
And so, dear friends,
You'll just have to carry on,
The dream is over.
MY MUMMY'S DEAD
By John Lennon
My mummy's dead,
I can't get it through my head,
Though it's been so many years.
My mummy's dead.
I can't explain,
So much pain.
I could never show it,
My mummy's dead.наверх
