I think John Lennon knew the teabaggers when he wrote this song

[jillan]

I just heard it and it made me laugh, in a sad way... it sure sounds like it could've been written for these kooks.


You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right


You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

Can you "imagine" if Lennon was with us today what wonderful songs we'd be listening to? :(

[RandomThoughts]

1. heh, how did it work out for him?

See you can't use that as a view of who is right and wrong.

[lob1]

2. I love Lennon's work, but there's a clue here that

proves he wasn't talking about today's teabaggers. The line is the 4th one, "You tell me that it's EVOLUTION..." Teabaggers don't believe in that non-god stuff.

[jillan]

3. I know - I thought about that...but then there's the part about wanting to change the constitution..

and about minds that hate.

[lob1]

4. You're right, of course. I was being a wise ass

[unblock]

9. "you tell me that it's EVIL-ution" -- see, maybe he WAS talking about teabaggers!

[sandnsea]

5. Chariman Mao?

I don't think he was talking about the rabid right.

[jillan]

6. Just change Mao to Reagan or Graham.

That would fit perfectly with today.

11. LOL - I like

8. Change that line to..

"But if you go carrying pictures of lady blah blah"

[The Wielding Truth]

15. I don't either. He would have been aghast at this crazy brand of BS.

7. watch it on you tube!

10. I wish he were here today

I'm sure he would have appreciated this rendition of I am the Walrus

http://decider.cf.huffingtonpost.com/




I am me and Rummy's he, Iraq is free and we are all together
See the world run when Dick shoots his gun, see how I lie
I'm Lying...

Sitting on my own brain, waiting for the end of days
Corporation profits, Bloody oil money
I'm above the law and I'll decide what's right or wrong


I am the egg head, I'm the Commander, I'm the Decider
Koo-Koo-Kachoo

Baghdad city policeman sitting pretty little targets in a row
See how they die when the shrapnel flies see mothers cry
I'm Lying...I'm Ly-ing...I'm Lying...I'm Ly-ing

Yellow cake uranium, imaginary WMD's
Declassifying facts, exposing secret agents
Tax cuts for the wealthy leaving all the poor behind

CHORUS

Sitting in the White house garden talking to the Lord
My thoughts would be busy busy hatching If I only had a brain

[Me.]

12. When I Saw Your Header This Is The Song I Thought I Would See

Eleanor Rigby (Lennon/McCartney)

I look at all the lonely people
I look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Because really, they are such a sad lot

13. There's so many - The Fool on the Hill also comes to mind.

[emulatorloo]

16. The fool on the hill was wiser than everybody else in the end. Can't say that for Teabaggers!

14. Let's hear it again and again!!!! Don't you know it's gonna be all right
