[DR ROBERT]
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob
Goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob

Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snied
I'm crying

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing hari krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob
Goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob

Paul David Hewson (born 10 May 1960), known by his stage name Bono (/ˈbɒnoʊ/ bon-oh), is an Irish singer, musician, venture capitalist and humanitarian best known for being the main vocalist of the Dublin-based rock band U2.

Bono was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, and attended Mount Temple Comprehensive School where he met his future wife, Alison Stewart, as well as the future members of U2. Bono is the author of almost all of U2’s lyrics, often utilizing political, social, and religious themes. During their early years, Bono’s lyrics contributed to U2’s rebellious and spiritual tone. As the band matured, his lyrics became inspired more by personal experiences shared with members of U2.

Beyond U2, he has collaborated and recorded with numerous artists, is managing director of Elevation Partners, and owns and has refurbished The Clarence Hotel in Dublin with fellow U2 member, The Edge.
