Believe In John

John Lennon said it’s all you need

In theory it’s hard not to agree

But when you look around today

The spirit of 67's long gone away

When you were young you let elders have your seat

You’d say hello to strangers in the street

Everything today has got a prize

But it’s hard to look the beggar in the eyes

Do you still believe in John

Do you still believe in love

Do you still believe in John

Or is it lack of empathy you’re suffering from

Self-centered motivation all around

The holy lord’s ten commandments upside down

Obsessed with buying stuff that you don’t need

In theory it’s hard not to call that greed

The pressure’s on to live a perfect life

With no pressure drop you might live a life in strife

Slow down, you move too fast now

If you want to make the moment last now

We’d all like to admit it’s getting better

But saying that’s like posting a dead letter

It’s still in our hands to change it all around

We need to come around

Before the world gets too upside down… so let’s come around
