John Lennon

[Intro]
One, two, a one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Well, now the underground and overjoyed they come on just the same
Don't want to get too real man, just want to play the game
I guess you knew it all along we were just singing in the rain
Can't get hipped to the down trip, the ship is sailing yet
And if it sinks, you know that all you really get is wet

[Chorus]
Move over Ms. L
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L, you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L

[Verse 2]
Well now to err is something human and forgiving so divine
I'll forgive your trespasses, if you forgive me mine
Life's a deal, you knew it, when you signed the dotted line
They nail you to the paper, put a rope around your neck
And so we sing along, the boy stood on the burning deck

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well now mama, papa told me, son, you better watch your head
Your head is full of snakes boy, you're better red than dead
They're starving back in China, that's what they always said
Can't get head in the head shop, your jeans are full of crap
You're full of beans, you're in your teens, you lost your mama's road map

[Chorus]

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.
