You wake up, you sip hot tea
Mindless music, radio free
You see blue skies and think of sea
How are you doing?
Then later on, switch on T.V
They give me the news, they give half truths to me
They give us whys, they feed us lies
How are we doing? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
To educate, they fabricate
And we sit back 'til it's too late

Have you got problems? What are your problems?
Bring all your problems straight to me
Trust in me now, 'cause I'm your leader
Don't hesitate now, I'll put you straight

Think of all the promises made to you
Think of all the lies that were going through
I am the light in you darkest hour
Through any crisis, I will be your power

Don't believe, don't believe
Don't believe all you're told, all you read, all you're taught
All you see, don't believe
Don't believe all you're told, all you read, all you're taught
All you see, don't believe

Do what you want, do what you do
What do you want, do what you like
Do what you want, do what you do
What do you want, do what you like (all your life)

Have you got problems? What are your problems?
Bring all your problems straight to me
Think of all the promises made to you
Think of all the lies that were going through
I am the light in you darkest hour
Through any crisis, I will be your power

Don't believe, don't believe
Don't believe all you're told, all you read, all you're taught
All you see, don't believe
Don't believe all you're told, all you read, all you're taught
All you see, don't believe

Do what you want, do what you do
What do you want, do what you like
Do what you want, do what you do
What do you want, do what you like (all your life)

Hey, hey babe!

Have you got problems? What are your problems?
Bring all your problems straight to me
Have you got problems? What are your problems?
Bring all your problems straight to me

You wake up, you sip hot tea
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
Woo-wee
To educate, they fabricate
Yeah, yeah
Woo-wee

Mike McGear

Peter Michael McCartney (born January 7, 1944) is perhaps best known for being Paul McCartney’s younger brother—this explains his use of the pseudonym, “Mike McGear,” to differentiate himself from his world-famous sibling.

He is a British performance artist and music photographer. Among his various aliases, Beatles manager Brian Epstein also gave him the nickname “Flash Harry,” due to his constant use of a flash camera in the 1960s.
