Nobody Told Me (16-track 1980 sessions) Songtext
von John Lennon & Yoko Ono

Three, four!

Everybody′s talkin' and no one says a word
Everybody′s makin' love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs

Always something happenin′ and nothin′ goin' on
There′s always something cookin' and nothin′ in the pot
They're starvin′ back in China so finish what you got

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there′d be days like these
Strange days indeed, strange days indeed


Everybody′s runnin' and no one makes a move
Everybody′s a winner and nothin' left to lose
There′s a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu

Everybody's flyin′ and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's cryin' and no one makes a sound
There′s a place for us in movies, you just gotta lay around

Nobody told me there′d be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there′d be days like these
Strange days indeed, most peculiar, mama

Everybody's smokin′ and no one's gettin′ high
Everybody's flyin' and never touch the sky
There′s a UFO over New York and I ain′t too surprised


Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there′d be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed, most peculiar, mama, roll
