John Lennon Remembered

Go. Pull a John Lennon CD. Let it spin. Remember John Lennon–artist, musician, poet, sage–on this, the anniversary of his murder.

Instant karma’s gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head.
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon you’re gonna be dead!
What in the world you thinking of,
Laughing in the face of love?
What on earth you tryin’ to do?
It’s up to you, yeah you!

Instant karma’s gonna get you,
Gonna look you right in the face.
Better get yourself together darlin’,
Join the human race.
How in the world you gonna see,
Laughin’ at fools like me?
Who in the hell d’you think you are?
A super star?
Well, right you are!

Well we all shine on!
Like the moon and the stars and the sun!
Well we all shine on!
Everyone! Come on!

Instant karma’s gonna get you,
Gonna knock you off your feet.
Better recognize your brothers,
Evryone you meet!
Why in the world are we here,
Surely not to live in pain and fear?
Why on earth are you there,
When you’re everywhere?
Come and get your share!

Well we all shine on!
Like the moon and the stars and the sun!
Yeah, we all shine on!
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on!
Like the moon and the stars and the sun!
Yeah we all shine on!
On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on!
Like the moon and the stars and the sun!
Well we all shine on!
Like the moon and the stars and the sun!
Well we all shine on!
Like the moon and the stars and the sun!
Yeah we all shine on!
Like the moon and the stars and the sun!

Peace, John!
