A John Lennon song for Bush.

[coloradodem2005]

Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head,
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead,
What in the world you thinking of,
Laughing in the face of love,
What on earth you tryin' to do,
It's up to you, yeah you.

Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna look you right in the face,
Better get yourself together darlin',
Join the human race,
How in the world you gonna see,
Laughin' at fools like me,
Who on earth d'you think you are,
A super star,
Well, right you are.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
Well we all shine on,
Ev'ryone come on.

Instant Karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you off your feet,
Better recognize your brothers,
Ev'ryone you meet,
Why in the world are we here,
Surely not to live in pain and fear,
Why on earth are you there,
When you're ev'rywhere,
Come and get your share.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
Yeah we all shine on,
Come on and on and on on on,
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah-.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
Yeah we all shine on,
On and on and on on and on.

Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Well we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Yeah we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
John Lennon, Instant Karma

3. Also, Gimme Some Truth...

GIMME SOME TRUTH

I'm sick and tired of hearing things from
uptight-short sighted-narrow minded hypocrites,
All I want is the truth, just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of reading things by
neurotic-psychotic-pig headed politicians,
All I want is the truth, just gimme some truth.

No short-haired-yellow bellied son of Tricky Dick
is gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me
with just a pocketful of hope, it's 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 gimme some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes of
schizophrenic-ego-centric-paranoid-prima donnas,
All I want is the truth, just gimme some truth.

No short-haired yellow bellied son of Tricky Dick
is gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me
with just a pocketful of hope, it's money for dope,
money for rope.

I'm sick and tired of hearing things from
uptight-short signted narrow minded hypocrites,
All I want is the truth, just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of reading things by
neurotic-psychotic-pig headed politicians,
All I want is the truth, just gimme some truth.

All I want is the truth, just gimme some truth.

5. Awesome....

his music is timeless. Wouldn't you love to hear what he would have to say about December 8th 2004:hippie: I MISS HIM.

[RagingInMiami]

6. If John Lennon were only alive now..

what would he be singing about. Those are great songs that were mentioned.
Another song, for us DUers in these troubling times, is "power to the people".

[shesemsmom]

7. Yeah

Power to the people
power to the people
power to the people
POWER TO THE PEOPLE RIGHT ON!!!
I FEEL MOTIVATED AGAIN

[scrantonlib17]

8. Yeah..

I was born 40 years too late. I really wish I could have been around in the late 60's and early, early 70's.

10. How about "Nowhere Man"?

He’s a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen,
You don’t know what you’re missing,
Nowhere man, the world is at your command.

He’s as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere man can you see me at all?
Doesn’t kave a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, don’t worry,
Take your time, don’t hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
Lend you a hand.

He’s a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.


("Isn’t he a bit like you and me?" - God, I hope not.)
Edit for typo.
