Bull, Dan - John Lennon Lyrics
Once upon a time there was a working class hero
Who wanted to give power to the people so
He asked us to imagine a world of peace,love and truth
To give peace a chance,
Do you want to know a secret from me to you?
And whether the music was acoustic or rock and roll
He walked the long and winding road until he wore out his rubber sole
With his old brown shoe
He broke walls and bridges down
Made us come together
'Caused us all to twist and shout
He was the one to tell us what goes on
Number nine, number nine revolution
[Hook:]
John
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
John
Oh, john
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
He was a paperback writer
As well as pen and verse
His best known publication was a spaniard in the works
And in his own right
He would write and write and write
Cause you should do whatever gets you through the night
Every man has a woman who loves him more than any other
But for this boy, who'd compare to john lennon's mother?
She's a woman named yoko
She's something new
So hold on john, because she loves you
This is real love
No more cover versions
Their love was just like starting over,two virgins
He was happier then anybody'd ever seen
But the boys of abbey road, didn't want to let it be
[Hook]
He went to live in new york city, but he lived on borrowed time
Living life with the lines, he was shot by a jealous guy
With a revolver, but don't ask me why
Life's little more then: Hello, goodbye
My, what a souvenir from their visit to america
Now he's going to strawberry fields forever
Hardly instant karma, but
Calm your nerves
Cause this beautiful boy's now as free as a bird
[Hook x2]

Bull, Dan John Lennon Comments
I dont know why but im crying
I've gotta say Dan. This is one of your best songs. My music taste has changed a lot over the years, but the one song I've always liked from the first time I heard it years ago, to today, is this one. A beautiful tribute for Lennon. Though I'm not much of a fan of Lennon's music, I do admire his (and the Beatles') contribution to music and progressive rock in general. But that aside, I still do think that your tribute is great. I just want to thank you for making this. It's very well, and cleverly written. So yeah, thank you.
I somehow feel as though Fred Rogers should get something like this.
Weirdest youtube video id i ever saw

Tears,Tons.
It's been forever since I listened to this song.
It's just as good as I remember.

In memory of John Lennon
I didn't know Dan made this? ! Omg
I'm using head phones and some of the instrumental is right audio only
Legit this is my favorite Dan Bull song.
i hate most beatles songs i think the people who listen to him are asshole baby boomers, and/or 14 year old hipsters who were born in the wrong generation, but i do understand why people hold john Lennon as high as they do. while the beatles music i fucking hate with every inch of my soul, john Lennon was extremely lyrically talented, and though the only song by him i ever listen to is "strawberry fields" the rest of his music was quality at its finest, even though listening to it is like shoving glass down my throat. oh and the song is good too danny boi
THis is soo good !!
I'd like to make a joke or a clever comment, but i can't. This just gave me the chills.

Sounds like legitimate music. Like as in something in the radio, but better.
Also put the song at speed 1.5
Trust me
This is absolutely amazing!!! I love it
had a random urge to re-watch this
Once upon a time there was a working class hero
Who wanted to give power to the people so
He asked us to imagine a world of peace,love and truth
To give peace a chance,
Do you want to know a secret from me to you?
All you need is love so love me do
And whether the music was acoustic or rock and roll
He walked the long and winding road until he wore out his rubber sole
With his old brown shoe
He broke walls and bridges down
Made us come together
'Caused us all to twist and shout
He was the one to tell us what goes on
Number nine, number nine revolution

good job Dan bull
i found 19 song titles... i feel like i haven't found them all
yay John Lennon The Beatles
Wish I could've known him.
He beat his wife and neglected his first son.
MJ was called a child molestor until his death and people still worship him. Am I excusing what he did, absolutely not. Julian went through years of neglect and got a song dedicated to him which you know 'completely' makes up for having an absentee father who picks a woman over you. Wrote this years ago, though I still can't hate/love a person whom I've never met. The most I can do is respect his work, same as the other three.
This sing is onest best song
These lyrics always cheer me up
Song Titles I found:
All you need is love
old brown shoe
revolution 9
paperback writer
I am the walrus
mama, you been on my mind
hello goodbye
strawberry fields
free as a bird
maybe Norwegian Wood and Hey Jude. There are a few I missed.
K-Landz walls and bridges (album)
She loves you
Love me do.
+Xenoxidos you forgot a lot, like a lot
What are the chords?
I've heard quite a few John Lennon tributes in song...but this one just took position as my favorite. Beautifully done, Mr. Bull, I salute you.
he really doesn't get the credit for how talented he is. i discovered dan bull through his civilization epic rap video and that one completely blew my mind with how good and well put together everything about it was
r:I:p john lenone
the best video:')
"A working class hero is something to be..."
"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."
This is my personal favorite quote of all time.
As a lover of John Lennon, and a Beatles fan...This was awesome. I loved it. So many song titles were used I lost count. You should go to Central Park in NYC that honors John Lennon.
I love John Lenenenenenenenenenenenenenenenon
58 people who disliked this are fucking idiots
dued it was very late but still good

Criminally under-viewed, the world needs this in their lives!

By far, one of your best songs.......EVER!!!!!
Hey thanks for making this, I know this is really late but, I'm doing a report on John Lenenenenenenenenneneon and I found it very hard to explain his life. This song helped me to write a 3-page report
I also did a report on Lennon for my last English project for my Eighth grade year, three pages as well, I used this pretty cool biography on John Lennon called "All I want is the truth" it's pretty awesome!
I was wearing a John Lennon shirt yesterday
I think this is one of the Best Songs i heard.
I'm sorry, but my englisch is low Level 😁
this song to me is so sad.
The only song of yours that I enjoy.
+CvScVs2 By the way, I don't think Let It Be is a John Lennon song.
+CvScVs2
Alright, Allo mate. It's me Bull!
+M.A.N Troid Right, and I am John Lennon
@CvScVs2
...
Forget it.
This is bloody awesome!!
Where can I get an instrumental version of this?
This is actually amazing I listen to this song every other week
Did you notice you have a million frickin' subscribers?
+Shadow The Hedgehog Who cares? Just listen to this beautiful song
"Subscribers" is the irrelevant part of the channel, it's the talent that matters!
I know, I was just wondering if he knew.
DAMN DANIEL
fab but the death bit could have been left out
This is like my new favorite song
This didn't make me cry at all
Once upon a time there was a working class hero who used to violently abuse women and repent with words of peace.
+MAX LAWLESS Okay this seems kinda outta place; could you explain your view to me?
@Hollow Inside
There's many articles out there detailing his problem with violence towards women. Admittedly, he felt awful about it in his older years. Google dark side of John Lenon or similar, you'll find articles.
+MAX LAWLESS Say that to other people and in other comments in other videos ! In this one, your comment has no purpose but ruining this beautiful song for no reason.
@Vincent160
Not sure how a comment could ruin a song but fair enough. ;)
beautiful music honoring a beautifully hearted person. peace dan bull!
He got shot by an R8 Revolver. So he playes csgo 1v1 14-15 for the opposite team and he died by a revolver. Because rank system is fucked e deranked and then because of the sadness he suicided. FUCKING VALVE KILLED JHON LELELELENENENENENENON.+ no half life 3 :(
Not cool dude...
@Mahran Frangulian Ik man ik
you are best than eminen
The cool thing about this is I'm from liver pool and my great grandfather was childhood friends with Paul McCartney ( my dad and grandmother were both really young parents.)
This song always makes me cry <3
this song is so amazing, all the beautiful quotes and Lennon songs... This is one of my favourite raps by u Dan, good job my dood... Good job
7/10 would be 10/10 but too much Marxism.
+Alfred The Great nigga whut
THIS DAN IS ON BLUE FIRE
how did I never see this one? Anyways, I know I'm almost 2 years late but I love the animation to this track!
+NoyzBot Just to let you know, the song is from the 2012 album 'Face'
The song and vid originate from at least 2010 (maybe before but 2010 is the earliest record I found). :P
Dan I know you won't see this but I realy like ur vids. you're so inspirational and caring. Thx for making vids man.
"This beautiful boy's now as free as a bird"
<3 This line
Free as a bird is a song he made
hey dan can you do david bowie song plese i relly need it
John, John CENA
Absolute madman.
Any guitar tabs for this?
I cried ;--;
Oh my god that moment when you've listened to a song a million times and then listen to the lyrics properly... I hadn't noticed what the ending actually said...
hats off so clever with the references
always brings me to tears
This is actually one of my favorite songs, well done Dan!
Wow this is superbly amazing!
