God

The dream is over, what can I say?

God is a concept
By which we measure our pain

I’ll say it again

God is a concept
By which we measure our pain
Yeah, pain, yeah

I don’t believe in magic
I don’t believe in I-Ching
I don’t believe in the Bible
I don’t believe in tarot
I don’t believe in Hitler
I don’t believe in Jesus
I don’t believe in Kennedy
I don’t believe in Buddha

I don’t believe in mantra
I don’t believe in Gita
I don’t believe in yoga
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
And that’s reality

The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday

I was the dream weaver
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

John Lennon (1970)
