- Working Class Hero
John LennonAs soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beThey hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beWhen they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beKeep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beThere's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beIf you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
- Isolation
John LennonPeople say we got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation
We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
IsolationJust a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
IsolationI don't expect you to understand
After you've caused so much pain
But then again, you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insaneWe're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation
- Remember
John LennonRemember when you were young?
How the hero was never hung
Always got away
Remember how the man
Used to leave you empty handed?
Always, always let you down
If you ever change your mind
About leaving it all behind
Remember, remember, todayAnd don't feel sorry
The way it's gone
And don't you worry
'Bout what you've doneJust remember when you were small
How people seemed so tall
Always had their way
Do you remember your Ma and Pa
Just wishing for movie stardom
Always, always playing a part
If you ever feel so sad
And the whole world is driving you mad
Remember, remember, todayAnd don't feel sorry
'Bout the way it's gone
And don't you worry
'Bout what you've doneNo, no, remember, remember

And though we both had been much thinner
She looked so beautiful I could eat her
Well, well, well, oh well
Well, well, well, oh wellI took my loved one to a big field
So we could watch the English sky
We both were nervous feeling guilty
And neither one of us knew just why
Well, well, well, oh well

Just like two liberals in the sun
We talked of women's liberation
And how the hell we could get things done
