No, but I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph.
There?s a man going round taking names. And he decides who to free and who to blame. Everybody won?t be treated all the same. There?ll be a golden ladder reaching down. When the man comes around.
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talking to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, John go do My will
Yes I read it in the New York Times
That was on the stands today
It said that dreams were out of fashion
We'll hear no more empty promises
There'll be no more wasted passions
To clutter up our play
It really was a good sign
The words went on to say
It shows that we are growing up
In oh so many healthy ways
And I told myself this is
Exactly where I'm at
But I don't much like thinking about that
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man
'We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave!
Nope, I watched it, which was even worse
Oh shit, I just realized, this post needs to be a verse
'Gas the kykes', said all and sundry, even the risk-averse
I’ll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I’ll be around
With my undying death defying love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling light, flowers and pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushing in, rushing inside of me
the truth is simple
I try to be principle
Walking with a warrior spirit
It ain?t nothing like learning from first hand life experience
I?m a realist, that?s all I deal with
Respect & truth, that?s all I build with
A child of the universe
My religion is life and it?s just as valid
I strive for balance
Hey God
I really don't know what you mean.
Seems like salvation come only in our dreams.
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme.
Hey God
Can this world really be as sad as it seems?
come with me to the dance floor
you and me coz that's what it's for
show me now what it is, you gotta be doing,
and the music in the house is so soothing
I do believe the original idear
was song verses about "news". That was quite clear.
but of course no one here could pick up on a clue
even if it was right there in their shoe.
So just continue on all of you gfyers,
all of you businessman, even you scammers and liars.
I will follow along and not mention news
and just post this for my signature views.

Is this better:
If you want to know 'bout the bishop and the actress
If you want to know how to be a star
If you want to know 'bout the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the Sunday papers
Sunday papers
a measure of Lennon's greatness, is that the culture could completely change and become the opposite of what he stood for, and I could go along with those changes and become completely anti-60's. Yet I would still think he was a genius and love his music
