I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Oh, oh, oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah

This one you would NOT expect, but here goes. Its just one part. "I don't know how you were diverted." (meaning you were diverted from real politicians and voted for a bad one (Bush))


"you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you" This has several meanings. First of all, you were perverted by Bush and he tricked you to vote for him again. And no one alerted you, that could mean no one alerted you about Bushs horrible mistakes (before he was elected the first time) Especially on Sept. 11, he could have told you but chose to ignore it.

I am aware these were written in the 60's, foreshadowing maybe? Or maybe my theory is true!

"How could one band be so popular? Its pretty obvious what happened, The Beatles had a time machine! They went to the future took everyones good songs and played them (after making them sound like there own.) Thats how they knew about Bush, that how they knew to write all these songs, that is how they were so frekkin popular!!!! (Lyrics to Piggies coming soon!)

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon


These lyrics abviously refer to Bush and other dirty Republican politicians (and some of those Democrats arent so clean either!)
