Important song Yoko. Great message that reflects our times. Music original purpose was to reflect the times your living in. Your song follows in that original great tradition

Really like this meduck ,john sent me a song in my sleep ,can you help finish the lyrics please ?,its called johns lost song on my souncloud 

I'm loving it. Can't wait to buy my copy.

Thank you, yoko, for this enormous and so energical effort to bring conscience and peace in our world, maybe a rebellion is needed.. jonh te escucha desde el cielo...

That was awesome. The vocals on the outro especially.

This is hell in paradise
We're all asleep or paralyzed
Why are we scared to verbalize
Our multi–color dreams

When will we come to realize
We're all stoned or pacified
While the boogie men organize
Their multi–level schemes

Underqualified for love
Overqualified for life
Sticking in our heads in slime
Thinking we're in our prime

Mesmerized by mythology
Hypnotized by ideology
Antagonized by reality
Vandalized by insanity
Desensitized by fraternity
Sanitized by policy
Jeopardized by lunacy

Penalized by apathy
Living in the world of fantasy
Dancing on hot coal
Waiting for the last call
It's Adam's ball
Eve's call
Eve’s call

Wake up, shake up, check out, work out, speak out, reach out, it's time to, time to, time to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to

This is hell in paradise
None of us wish to recognize
But do we want them to materialize 
An endangered species

Exorcise institution
Exercise intuition
Mobilize transition
With inspiration for life
