How Do You Sleep ? Lyrics

Artist: John Lennon
Album: Imagine

So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you're gone you're just another day
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

Comments/Interpretations
by William Teixeira on 12/27/2008 10:51am In this song Jonh Lennon has spilled a great amount of hatred against Paul´s attittude on Beatles split in 1970.
by William Teixeira on 12/27/2008 11:06am This was a composition created to annoy Paul MacCartney.
by J. Thornber on 8/14/2009 11:31am This song was made by John Lennon to show his anger towards Paul McCartney. At first, John fibbed about who the song was about, stating that it was about him, not Paul McCartney. Then, he told the truth, that it was really about Paul. The lyrics in the song clearly state that it was a attack on Paul("Those freaks was right when they said, you was dead", a myth that Paul McCartney was dead because he walked across Abbey Road in bare feat) and ("Jump when your momma tell you anything," also another attack on McCartney, because Paul's mother died in the 1950's.)
by Polly on 9/10/2009 5:50pm John Lennon was pure genious. That doesn't mean Paul was bad, he was a genious too. I lik e John better then Paul, but I have to say this song was pretty mean.
by nicky h on 9/12/2009 9:26am the only thing you did was yesterday should be capitalized because John is referring to the song Yesterday! What perfect lyrics! john was the master and it sucks hes gone, he's still be writing this beautiful, poignant stuff today!

by nN on 9/22/2009 2:04pm A nastry response to McCartney's Too Many People, which took a slightly kinder dig at Lennon. McCartney responded to this with Let Me Roll It. Which is a good way to end any feud. :)
by Lou Hp on 10/2/2009 2:44pm You're a mad man, John.
by frida on 10/23/2009 6:05am John was just mad because Paul sued the rest of them when Beatles split up. Later, when John understood why Paul did what he did, he said that the song was about himself because he felt ashamed. At least they weren't mad at each other when John died.. Unlike John and George x( may they be friends in peace in heaven.
