The Beatles | Revolution

Released 50 years ago, in tumultuous 1968, John Lennon's Revolution is considered one of the greatest rock songs. Despite its driving, almost apocalyptic, guitar riffs it is less a celebration of revolution than a succinct rebuke of nihilism and sectarianism.

John Lennon: Instant Karma

Instant Karma's gonna get you, 
Gonna knock you right on the head, 
You better get yourself together, 
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead, 
What in the world you thinking of, 
Laughing in the face of love, 
What on earth you tryin' to do, 
It's up to you, yeah you. 
 
Instant Karma's gonna get you, 
Gonna look you right in the face, 
Better get yourself together darlin', 
Join the human race, 
How in the world you gonna see, 
Laughin' at fools like me, 
Who on earth d'you think you are, 
A super star, 
Well, right you are. 
 
Well we all shine on, 
Like the moon and the stars and the sun, 
Well we all shine on, 
Ev'ryone come on. 
 
Instant Karma's gonna get you, 
Gonna knock you off your feet, 
Better recognize your brothers, 
Ev'ryone you meet, 
Why in the world are we here, 
Surely not to live in pain and fear, 
Why on earth are you there, 
When you're ev'rywhere, 
Come and get your share. 
 
Well we all shine on, 
Like the moon and the stars and the sun, 
Yeah we all shine on, 
Come on and on and on on on, 
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah-. 
 
Well we all shine on, 
Like the moon and the stars and the sun, 
Yeah we all shine on, 
On and on and on on and on. 
 
Well we all shine on, 
Like the moon and the stars and the sun. 
Well we all shine on, 
Like the moon and the stars and the sun. 
Well we all shine on, 
Like the moon and the stars and the sun. 
Yeah we all shine on, 
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

I Met the Walrus

In 1969, 14-year-old Beatle fanatic Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room and convinced him to do an interview. Thirty eight years later this animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches.' For more of Lennon's vision, see the official video of Imagine.
