Had lost the plot completely, see what happens when you muzzle
[Verse 4]
B B7
G# person's creativity and do not let them sing and scream
Esus2 F#7sus4 G7

B B7
You may think my approach is simple-minded and naive
Esus2 F#7sus4 G7
Like if you want to change the world, then why not quit and feed the hungry?
B B7
But people for millennia have needed music to survive
Esus2 F#7sus4 G7
And that is why I've promised John that I will not feel guilty
[Verse 7]
B B7
So play your favorite Beatles song and make the subway fall in love
Esus2 F#7sus4 G7
