You know what?

Well, I agree that politics and art should be mixed, but not all art.
I don't want to dissect the Beatles, I want to listen to them, and I hate it especially when artists can't just say their opinion, they need to hide it behind symbolism, and I always need to find out what they mean. If you do have a political voice, why are you trying to hide it?

 

getting sick and fucking tired of politics in my entertainment is what made me start listening to instrumentals.

but a lil somn about the beatles
they got too huge
n everybody knows
but they needed to breathe n go semi-solo
prolly about 20 mins after they hit america
they were too stressed out
n smart, but jus kids
that's when it all started to fall apart
the white album - now you guys're jus high
abbey road, let it be - spiral down into infinity
they were given too much responsibility
needed to pass that mojo around a lil
show the yunguns how it's done
but the suits gotta contract
pre-invested vested interest
n they don want artists so powerful
elton john, u2, sting... streisand, springsteen
that they get to jus say whatever they wanna
cuz they're basically one o the people, originally
n now wit enough money n peace o mind etc
they gotta perspective view
generate awareness if they wanna
call on the common conscience

that's why they tried to deport lennon
