All this bit about angels and all the different religions, it's based on something. I think anything's possible. I believe in everything until it's disproved.

O' sanity, o' sanity
What am I to do with you?
Drink up, shoot up, anything you please
But she's always standing behind me like a devil in hell

I was the dreamweaver, but now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus, but now I'm John
And so dear friends, you'll just have to carry on
The dream is over.

For our last number, I'd like to ask your help. Would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort?.... Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

We've learned to come in sort of gently. We can't come smashing in like, "Hi! It's John and Yoko naked in bed with flags and Yoko screaming and him playing wild guitar in back." We're just coming in through the back door.

I'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition.

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

Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a "Yes" but it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

You say you want a revolution,
Well, you know, we all want to change the world...
But when you talk about destruction,
Don't you know that you can count me out.
