John Lennon, “Bring on the Lucie (Freda Peeple)”

Readings on Star Politics,

Alright, boys, this is it, over the hill

We don’t care what flag you’re waving / We don’t even want to know your name / We don’t care where you’re from or where you’re going / All we know is that you came / You’re making all our decisions / We have just one request of you / That while you’re thinking things over / Here’s something you just better do

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it, do it) / Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it) / Free the people now (do it, do it, do it) / Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

Well, we were caught with our hands in the air / Don’t despair, paranoia’s ev’rywhere / We can shake it with love when we’re scared / So let’s shout it aloud like a prayer

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it) / Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it) / Free the people now (do it, do it, do it) / Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

We understand your paranoia / But we don’t wanna play your game / You think you’re cool and know what you are doing / 666 is your name / So while you’re jerking off each other / You better bear this thought in mind / Your time is up, you better know it / But maybe you don’t read the signs

Free the people now (do it, do it, do it, do it) / Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it, do it) / Free the people now (do it, do it, do it) / Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill / And you still gotta swallow your pill / As you slip and you slide down the hill / On the blood of the people you kill

Stop the killing! (Free the people now) / Do! (Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now) (do it, do it, do it) / Stop the killing! (Free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it) / Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it, do it) / Stop the killing! (Free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it) / Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it) / Bring on the Lucie! / (Free the people now) (do it, do it, do it)
