Here we go again
Here we go again and again
Wond'rin' how it all began
Wond'rin' will it ever end

Round and round we go
Where it's going, nobody knows
Though I know we've been this place before
Someone keeps on moving the door

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain

So I say hello again
And nobody gives a damn
And nobody wants to hold your hand
Ev'ryone is an also-ran

Round and round we go
Where it's going, nobody knows
Though I know we've seen this place before
Someone keeps on moving the door

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain

Round and round we go-oh-oh-oh
Round and round we go-oh

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain
Here we go agai-ain

John Lennon

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
