Mother, you had me, but I never had you

I wanted you, you didn't want me

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye 



Father, you left me, but I never left you

I needed you, you didn't need me

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye 



Children, don't do what I have done

I couldn't walk and I tried to run

So I, I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye 



Mama don't go

Daddy come home

(repeat 9 more times)

Hold on John, John hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna win the fight 



Hold on Yoko, Yoko hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna make the flight 



When you're by yourself

And there's no-one else

You just have yourself

And you tell yourself

Just to hold on 



Cookie! 



Hold on world, world hold on

It's gonna be alright

You gonna see the light 



When you're one

Really one

Well, you get things done

Like they've never been done

So hold on

I told you before, stay away from my door

Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother

The freaks on the phone, won't leave me alone

So don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother

No! 



I, I found out!

I, I found out! 



Now that I showed you what I been through

Don't take nobody's word what you can do

There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky

Now that I found out I know I can cry 



I, I found out!

I, I found out! 



Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand

Don't get you nowhere don't make you a man

I heard something 'bout my Ma and my Pa

They didn't want me so they made me a star 



I, I found out!

I, I found out! 



Old Hare Krishna got nothing on you

Just keep you crazy with nothing to do

Keep you occupied with pie in the sky

There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes 



I, I found out!

I, I found out! 



I seen through junkies, I been through it all

I seen religion from Jesus to Paul

Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine

No one can harm you, feel your own pain 



I, I found out!

I, I found this out!

I, I found out!

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've 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

And 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 as 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

People say we got it made

Don't they know we're so afraid?

Isolation

We're afraid to be alone

Everybody got to have a home

Isolation 



Just a boy and a little girl

Trying to change the whole wide world

Isolation

The world is just a little town

Everybody trying to put us down

Isolation 



I don't expect you to understand

After you've caused so much pain

But then again, you're not to blame

You're just a human, a victim of the insane 



We're afraid of everyone

Afraid of the sun

Isolation

The sun will never disappear

But the world may not have many years

Isolation

Remember when you were young?

How the hero was never hung

Always got away

Remember how the man

Used to leave you empty handed?

Always, always let you down

If you ever change your mind

About leaving it all behind

Remember, remember, today 



And don't feel sorry

The way it's gone

And don't you worry

'Bout what you've done 



Just remember when you were small

How people seemed so tall

Always had their way

Do you remember your Ma and Pa

Just wishing for movie stardom

Always, always playing a part

If you ever feel so sad

And the whole world is driving you mad

Remember, remember, today 



And don't feel sorry

'Bout the way it's gone

And don't you worry

'Bout what you've done 



No, no, remember, remember

The fifth of November

Love is real, real is love

Love is feeling, feeling love

Love is wanting to be loved 



Love is touch, touch is love

Love is reaching, reaching love

Love is asking to be loved 



Love is you

You and me

Love is knowing

We can be 



Love is free, free is love

Love is living, living love

Love is needing to be loved

Well, well, well, oh well

Well, well, well, oh well 



I took my loved one out to dinner

So we could get a bite to eat

And though we both had been much thinner

She looked so beautiful I could eat her

Well, well, well, oh well

Well, well, well, oh well 



I took my loved one to a big field

So we could watch the English sky

We both were nervous feeling guilty

And neither one of us knew just why

Well, well, well, oh well

Well, well, well, oh well

(repeat several times) 



We sat and talked of revolution

Just like two liberals in the sun

We talked of women's liberation

And how the hell we could get things done

Well, well, well, oh well

Well, well, well, oh well 



I took my loved one to a big field

So we could catch the English sky

We both were nervous feeling guilty

And neither one of us knew just why

Well, well, well, oh well

Well, well, well, oh well

(repeat several times)

Look at me

Who am I supposed to be?

Who am I supposed to be?

Look at me

What am I supposed to be?

What am I supposed to be?

Look at me

Oh my love, oh my love 



Here I am

What am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to do?

Here I am

What can I do for you?

What can I do for you?

Here I am

Oh my love, oh my love 



Look at me, oh please look at me, my love

Here I am

Oh my love 



Who am I?

Nobody knows but me

Nobody knows but me

Who am I?

Nobody else can see

Just you and me

Who are we?

Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love

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

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'll just have to carry on

The dream is over

My mummy's dead

I can't get it through my head

Though it's been so many years

My mummy's dead

I can't explain

So much pain

I could never show it

My mummy's dead
