Lyrics
LENNON - inspired by John Lennon
If Lennon had lived & love not left,
The right not so righteous & rock not so dead
1 million more since he was shot,
A chance 4 peace not b 4got
If he was left 2 protest 4 a free-4-all,
Free ta live not freedom 2 kill
Violence & hatred & warts & all,
Soon as he was gone & peace hit the wall
(Now) Propaganda’s fuel 4 fightin’ war,
Billboards of peace from John no more
His biggest crime was-ah sleepin’ in,
& the media mafia oh they all cried crim
If 1 man had not been handed a gun,
But a helping hand or seen by some1
Are the crazy still cookoo & socially shunned?
Can ya see how far in perception we’ve come?
Now 'working class' just a dirty word,
Reserved 4 he who does dirty work
Tell me who sings 4 the workin’ man these days?
But 4 John the world still plays
Sounds he wouldn’t recognise,
New pollies tellin’ same old lies
Everythin’ sounds so synthesised,
But 4 John the world still cries
Crocodile tears in fake reality,
Factory produced hypocrisy
After all it’s like he they, wanna b
If Lennon had lived & love not left,
The right not so righteous & rock not so dead
Would he own his own songs, value # 1’s?
In the age of greed & fear…would he carry a gun?
