John Lennon put it this way:

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

Re: Fuck this for a lark (none / 1)

Keep 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 be
If you want to be a hero, then just follow me

There'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 be
If you want to be a hero, then just follow me...

This one always made me think of the desperate conditions in the Dakota, a building I used to walk by in NYC. Sometimes there is only one doorman on duty! The horror.
