[Verse 1]
You dance at the discotheque
That's why you look such a wreck
Your face is pale, you look drawn
Your clothes are dirty and torn
You've got the look in your eyes
That says you're half alive and you're lost inside
Meanwhile you're back in your cage
Ego'd out on the stage where the unconsciousness rules

[Verse 2]
You've got yourself in a bind
You don't know how to unwind
Your senses unsatisfied
Take you along on a ride
You've got a way and a stance
That says you'll dance the pants off of everyone
Then you go back on the floor
You got to get through the door where the unconsciousness rules

[Verse 3]
You've lost a screw in your head
It shows the way you're led, blind leading the blind
Nothing can stand in your way
You're living day after day where the unconsciousness rules

[Outro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, unconsciousness rules
Oh yeah, oh yeah, unconsciousness rules
Oh yeah, oh yeah, unconsciousness rules

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
