John Lennon Lyrics

"Satire #1" lyrics


Lord, take this makeup of off of me.
I said, "lordy, lordy, lordy, take this makeup offa me."
it's bad enough on the beach,
but it's worse in the sea.

Because I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Because I'm lookin' for my ma.

I said, "ma, take these guns away from me."
I said, "ma, take these guns away from me."
I got so thin now, they're draggin' me down to my knees.
Oh yeah, man, do you Mr. Jones?

Town,
now I've been here so long, I almost forgot my name.
I said, "lord I been here so long I almost forgot my name."
but as long as I keep touring,
I'll always be in the game, fame, brain, shame and fame and game
fame, fame....
