lyrics

Very Popular

“It’s all for the best” was asked for a date

five times last Saturday night.

It is a very very popular misconception.

“The importance of the nightly news”

is asked to visit all the nicest homes.

It is a very very popular misconception.

Contrary to popular thought,

that’s not the way it works.

That’s not the way that it works, I think.

“The national security provided by the arms race”

got itself invited to a big shebang.

It is a very very popular misconception.

“You can control your life”

was the subject of a massive manhunt.

It’s a notorious, it’s an increasingly,

it is a very very very popular misconception.

--Sean Lennon
