WORKING CLASS HERO
John Lennon

- "Ah, she's gone to do it?"
- "Let's go again"
- "What is it?"
- " I just wanted to do an ......
- " Okay, I'll try it, okey?"

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.

A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE,
A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE.

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.

A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE,
A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE.

KEEP YOU DOPED WITH RELIGION AND SEX AND TV,
YOU THINK YOU'RE SO CLEVER AND CLASSLESS AND FREE.
BUT YOU'RE STILL FUCKING PEASANTS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE.

A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE,
A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE.

THERE'S  ROOM AT THE TOP, THEY ARE TELLING YOU STILL,
BUT FIRST YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO SMILE WHEN YOU KILL.
IF YOU WANT TO BE LIKE THE FOLKS ON THE HILL.

A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE,
A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A HERO, WELL, JUST FOLLOW ME,
IF YOU WANT TO BE A HERO, WELL, JUST FOLLOW ME.

WELL, WELL, WELL, OH WELL,
WELL, WELL, WELL, OH WELL.

GOD
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,
YES, WE DO.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN MAGIC,
I DON'T BELIEVE IN I-CHING,
I DON'T BELIEVE IN BIBLE,
I DON'T BELIEVE IN TAROT,
I DON'T BELIEVE IN HITLER,
I DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS,
I DON'T BELIEVE IN KENNEDYS,
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 JUST HAVE TO CARRY ON,
THE DREAM IS OVER.

YOU WAS KING...

OH - HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?

A PRETTY FACE MAY LAST A YEAR OR TWO,

THE LUCK OF THE IRISH (live)
John Lennon and Yoko Ono


OK, ONE, TWO, THREE, ONE TWO, THREE

IF YOU HAD THE LUCK OF THE IRISH,
YOU'D BE SORRY AND WISH YOU WERE DEAD.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THE LUCK OF THE IRISH,
AND YOU'D WISH YOU WAS ENGLISH INSTEAD.

A THOUSAND YEARS OF TORTURE AND HUNGER,
DROVE THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THEIR LAND.
A LAND FULL OF BEAUTY AND WONDER
WAS RAPED BY THE BRITISH BRIGANDS!
GODDAMNED!
GODDAMNED!

IF YOU COULD KEEP VOICES LIKE FLOWERS,
THERE'S BE SHAMROCK ALL OVER THE WORLD.
IF YOU COULD DRINK DREAMS LIKE IRISH STREAMS,
THEN THE WORLD WOULD BE AS HIGH AS THE MOUNTAIN OF MORN.

IN THE 'POOL THEY TOLD US THE STORY
HOW THE ENGLISH DIVIDED THE LAND.
OF THE PAIN AND THE DEATH AND THE GLORY
AND THE POETS OF AULD EIRELAND.

IF WE COULD MAKE CHAINS WITH THE MORNING DEW,
THE WORLD WOULD BE LIKE GALWAY BAY.
LET'S WALK OVER RAINBOWS LIKE LEPRECHAUNS,
THE WORLD WOULD BE ONE BIG BLARNEY STONE.

WHY THE HELL ARE THE ENGLISH THERE ANYWAY?
AS THEY KILL WITH GOD ON THEIR SIDE!
BLAME IT ALL ON THE KIDS AND THE I.R.A.
AS THE BASTARDS COMMIT GENOCIDE!
AYE! AYE!
GENOCIDE!

OKAY!

YOU SHOULD HAVE THE LUCK OF THE IRISH,
YOU'D BE SORRY AND WISH YOU WERE DEAD.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THE LUCK OF THE IRISH,
AND YOU'D WISH YOU WAS ENGLISH INSTEAD.

ONE MORE TIME!

YOU SHOULD HAVE THE LUCK OF THE IRISH,
YOU'D BE SORRY AND WISH YOU WERE DEAD.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THE LUCK OF THE IRISH,
AND YOU'D WISH YOU WAS ENGLISH INSTEAD,
HEY, YES, YOU'D WISH YOU WERE ENGLISH INSTEAD.

John Lennon


-"Now we came here not only to help John and to spotlight what's goin' on.
But also it show to the...to say to all of you, that aaah..apathy isn't here and that we can do somethin'.
Ok, so flower power didn't work, so what? We start again.
This song I wrote for John Sinclair."

- "OK, John Sinclair, nice and easy now...   sneaky!"

One, two, a one, two, three, four.


IT AIN'T FAIR, JOHN SINCLAIR,
IN THE STIR FOR BREATHING AIR.
WON'T YOU CARE FOR JOHN SINCLAIR,
IN THE STIR FOR BREATHING AIR?
LET HIM BE, SET HIM FREE,

WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT,
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT,
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT TO SET HIM FREE.

IF HE'D WAS A SOLDIER MAN,
SHOOTING GOOKS IN VIETNAM,
IF HE WAS THE C.I.A.,
SELLING DOPE AND MAKING HAY,
HE'D BE FREE, THEY'D LET HIM BE,
BREATHING AIR LIKE YOU AND ME.

THEY GAVE HIM TEN FOR TWO,
WHAT ELSE CAN JUDGE COLUMBO DO?
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT,

AND THEY GOT ........?....... TOO!
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT,
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT,
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT TO SET HIM FREE.

WAS HE JAILED FOR WHAT HE DONE
OR REPRESENTING EV'RYONE?
FREE JOHN NOW, IF YOU CAN,
FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE MAN.
LET HIM BE, LIFT THE LID,
BRING HIM  TO HIS WIFE AND KIDS.
ALRIGHT!

THEY GAVE HIM TEN FOR TWO,
WHAT ELSE CAN THE BASTARDS DO?
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT,
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT,
WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT, WE GOT TO SET HIM FREE, FREE!

-Ok, thank you all for coming, we're way over time, sorry we couldn't hear more music
John, if you're listening still in jail, man, i hope this help, we hope to see you here soon
Thank you all for coming and being so nice"

THE DAVID FROST SHOW


-"We're just gonna...  Welcome back, welcome back with John and Yoko, Yoko and John
This song is written by, the John Sinclair song, who wrote that song?  
-"Ah, John Sinclair, I wrote this one.. He spent two years in prison, virtually in isolation and solitary, in case he infiltrated the other prisoners or something. He didn't want any help for two years because he thought why bother, justice will let me out, my appeals will let me out......after two years he began to worry and he asked for some help. We went down, had a rally with 15.000 people. We weren't the only people there, Little Stevie Wonder, and  Phil Ochs and Alan Ginsburg...a really big rally."
-"Big Stevie Wonder now!"
-"Big Stevie Wonder, yeah, and it was a beautiful show. Many people devoted their time to it and we came along, sang the songs we sang to you and this one, John Sinclair, which was the final one. By a stroke of good luck he was released on Monday.

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-BE -DOO-BE-DOO,
ONE DAY AT A TIME IS GOOD FOR
YOU,
US TWO,
YOU TOO,

-"The end of two middle aged"

THE YEARS HAVE PASSED SO QUICKLY,
ONE THING I UNDERSTOOD:
I'M ONLY LEARNING  TELL THE TREES FROM WOOD.


AND I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL,
AND I KNOW NOW WHAT I HAVE DONE.

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YESTERDAY,
RIGHT NOW,
I LOVE YOU MORE, RIGHT NO-OO-OO-OO-OW.

AND I KNOW WHAT'S COMING DOWN
AND I KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.
AND I KNOW IT'S GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME
NOW WE'RE SHARING EACH OTHERS MIND.

I KNOW WHAT I WAS MISSING,
BUT NOW MY EYES CAN SEE.
PUT MYSELF IN YOUR PLACE AS YOU DID FOR ME.

TODAY,
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YESTERDAY-HEY,
RIGHT NOW,
I LOVE YOU MORE, RIGHT NO-OO-OO-OO-OW.

OOOH - OH-OH-OH

JERRY LEWIS TELETHON


-"John and Yoko, let's hear it! John LLennon, John Lennon, Yoko! Let's hear them, let's get a bow, John Lennon, John, Yoko!
(Audience) John! John! John! John!.....
-"John, Yoko, John, Yoko, John, Yoko, John....I'll tell you what, Oh, cool it, cool it! I would suspect that John Lennon is probably one of the wisest showman I've ever met. He knows what he's doin'!
He did two things, he did two...shhhh! Please! He did two things tonight. He came here to help, one, I think this was the primary purpose of his visit. And, two, he meant to say something. I think he did both those things. He has split. Let's thank them very much!

REAL LOVE
John Lennon


-"OK, Start again, silly boy. Take fouur!"

ALL MY LITTLE PLANS AND SCHEMES,
GONE LIKE SOME FORGOTTEN DREAMS.
SEEMS THAT ALL I REALLY WAS DOING
WAS WAITING FOR YOU.

JUST LIKE LITTLE GIRLS AND BOYS,
PLAYING WITH THEIR LITTLE TOYS.
SEEMS LIKE ALL WE'RE REALLY WERE DOING
WAS WAITING FOR LOVE.

NO NEED TO BE ALONE,
NO NEED TO BE ALONE.
IT'S REAL LOVE, YES, IT'S REAL,
YES, IT'S REAL LOVE, IT'S REAL.

FROM THIS MOMENT ON I KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE MY LIFE WILL GO,
SEEMS LIKE ALL I REALLY WAS DOING
WAS WAITING FOR LOVE.

THOUGHT I'D BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE,
BUT IN MY HEART, I WANTED MORE.
SEEMS LIKE ALL I REALLY WAS DOING
WAS WAITING FOR YOU.

NO NEED TO BE AFRAID,
NO NEED TO BE AFRAID,
IT'S REAL LOVE, YES, IT'S REAL,
YES, IT'S REAL LOVE, IT'S REAL.
