We all want to change the world..... don't we?

[backtoblue]

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We'd all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We'd 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 alright

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

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We'd all love to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your 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 know it's gonna be alright
Alright

1. Play

Loud!

[backtoblue]

2. Absolutely!

Substance that should be sung loud enough for "politicians" and the other greedy folks to hear!

3. I'm sick and tired...

of walking on hot sand, and walking on sharp stones, and walking on pointy thorns. I know what I can do. I can cover the whole world with sheets of leather. That way I can walk wherever I want without hurting my feet.

Or... maybe I could just cover my feet with leather and I would also be able to walk anywhere without hurting my feet.

I'll leave changing the world and covering it with sheets of leather to others. Instead I'll just put leather on my feet and help those around me to get leather on their feet as well. Seems like person-to-person action on the local level is the only way to get anything meaningful done. If success depends on "changing the world" then success will never be achieved, because basic human nature simply never changes. Ever. And that means that the world will never be changed. Ever. At least not in any meaningful way for any meaningful period of time.

5. One day

we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means."

4. Take this Paul! From John with not so much love.

Magical Misery Tour

I resent performing for you fuckers!
Tell me, what do you know?
A lot of faggot middle-class kids
Wearing long hair and trendy clothes.
Look, I'm not your fucking parents
And I'm sick of uptight hippies coming knocking at me door
With a fucking peace symbol
Get this, got that I don't owe you fuckers anything.
And all I've got to say is "Fuck you!"

The sky is blue.

And Mick Jagger
I think that Mick's a joke with all his stupid faggot dancing
I always did.
Wiggling his ass, you know, its just a lot of bullshit.
And where does he come off saying all those tarty things about the Beatles?
When every fucking thing we ever did Mick tried to copy
and you know we even wrote his second fucking record for him
No, the Stones, aren't the same in class as the Beatles,
either music-wise or power-wise; they never ever were.

Pardon me sir.

Paul said he hated Yoko
Tell me, why should Yoko have to take that kind of shit -
shit from those fucking sons of bitches?
George said she gave off evil vibes
I should have beat the fucking shit right out of him,
him with his fucking Hari Krishnas.

Me Auntie she tore up me fucking poems
She just threw the bastards out.
I can't forgive her 'cause she didn't treat me like a fucking genius.
Look, you bastards, I'm a genius!
Like Shakespeare and Beethoven and Van Gogh.
Don't you DARE criticize my work!
"Don't Worry Kyoko" is one of the fucking BEST rock and roll records ever made!
I'm a fucking artist!
I'm sensitive as shit!
I throw up before I go on stage!
I could make a guitar SPEAK!
If I could be a fisherman, I would, But I CAN'T because I'm a FUCKING GENIUS!
I was the Walrus - Paul wasn't the Walrus!
I was just saying that to be nice, but I was actually the Walrus!
You know that rubbish he's been singing?
EASTMAN WAS AN ANIMAL! A FUCKING STUPID MIDDLE-CLASS PIG!
I WON'T LET FUCKING ANIMALS LIKE THAT NEAR ME!
Yoko is a supreme intellectual!
I'll tell you why nobody likes her music
because she's a woman, and she's Oriental, that's why!

Where are you Mother?
They're trying to crucify me!

Genius is pain,
Genius is pain,
Genius is pain,
Genius is PAIN!!
YOKO!!!! MOTHER!!!!
{Fade out on howling and gutteral screaming)

Yoko's voice: The dleam is over.

7. well, no one's perfect. I'll give ya that!

But interpretation is vital and I relate to "Revolution", not to some of other ventures of the Beatles.

But then again, some tell me I'm a dreamer... (wink)




"Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind." JFK


Peace,

10. Thank you! It's time to remember the REAL Beatles!

And that was the first, and frankly, the ONLY good recorded comedy that National Lampoon ever created. It was at the time when everyone thought the Beatles should get back together, and they didn't want to, and John Lennon had become a whiny little bitch under the thumb of Yoko.

Lennon came a long way from Liverpool. He should have gone back before he died. Maybe he might have remembered who he was, and for whom he was writing music.

6. And, here's a way to do it that actually works.

8. Wasn't there a British group who wrote a song

called Everybody wants to change the world? Tears for fears or something like that.

[backtoblue]

9. everybody wants to rule the world?

The title sounds fitting considering all of the political deception and corporate greed that is rampant today.

[asjr]

12. Thanks. I knew the title had something to do

with the world. Funny how some things come to mind and bug us until we know.

[timtom]

11. Oh, it's changing, all right!

I sure as hell don't recognize it.
