Now, c'mon: didn't that pesky war work out just fine for everybody? I'll bet Bill wants his portrait done! 

Still a great song after all these years. A lot of John's solo work seems dated to me but not this.

Lyrics:

God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I'll say it again,
God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in I-ching,
I don't believe in bible,
I don't believe in tarot,
I don't believe in Hitler,
I don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy,
I don't believe in Buddha,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in Gita,
I don't believe in yoga,
I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in Elvis,
I don't believe in Zimmerman,
I don't believe in Beatles,
I just believe in me,
Yoko and me,
And that's reality.
The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday,
I was dreamweaver,
But now I'm reborn,
I was the walrus,
But now I'm John,
And so dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
The dream is over.

John Winston Ono Lennon,  (9 October 1940 - 8 December 1980)

So much charachter in his face, you can bet he spent a good lot of his life smiling :)
I have been to a few rallies where this guy didnt show up.
After i took this summer, i never saw him again.
Im glad i had a chance to take his picture again
He was protesting with two signs, the first saying "give peace a chance" and the second was a yellow submarine.
Great guy, amazing sense of life, and a beatles fan ;)

People always flame when you respond to a song in a political fashion on this site. But, with a song like this, and the previous comments, I don\'t see anyway around it. I think this song probably was allot more realistic when he wrote and sang it than it is in this current crisis today. Things are much different now. Anyone who can\'t see that needs to wake up. Peace is an ideal that everyone should strive for. But at this point, I think it would be ignorant bliss.
