God is a concept By which we measure Our pain I'll say it again
God is a concept By which we measure Our pain
I don't believe in magic I don't believe in I-ching I don't believe in Bible I don't believe in tarot I don't believe in Hitler I don't believe in Jesus I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha I don't believe in Mantra I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga I don't believe in kings I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman I don't believe in Beatles I just believe in me
Yoko and me And that's reality
The dream is over What can I say? The dream is over Yesterday
I was the Dreamweaver But now I'm reborn I was the Walrus But now I'm John
And so dear friends You'll just have to carry on The dream is over (sing365)
There are three sections in the song:In the first one, John Lennon describes God as "a concept by which we measure our pain" In the second, Lennon lists many idols that he does not believe in, ending by stating that he just believes in himself and Yoko . The idols he lists are: magic, I Ching, Bible, tarot, Hitler, Jesus, Buddha, mantra, Gita, yoga, kings,Elvis, Zimmerman (Bob Dylan) and Beatles.
The final section describes Lennon's change since the break-up of The Beatles. He states that he is no longer the "Dreamweaver" , but just "John". The final line of the song, "The dream is over" represents Lennon's stance that the myth "the Beatles were God" had come to an end. "If there is a God," Lennon explained, "we're all it." (wikipedia)
