Wow! John Lennon's "Watching the Wheels"

[martygParticipant 103]

I just heard this on the radio. I know it’s actually about turning his back on fame and dedicating more time to his family, but SHAZAM! it totally sounds like the MGTOW anthem. Here are the lyrics cut-and-pasted from youtube:

 

People say I’m crazy doing what I’m doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I’m o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you’re not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I’m lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I’m doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don’t you miss the big time boy you’re no longer on the ball

I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there’s no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind
I tell them there’s no hurry
I’m just sitting here doing time

I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

Yep, Lennon had his moments. There is no denying that.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

Sadly Lennon was a Leftie who backed Feminism and many other concepts which have ruined our society. Although the song above could be interpreted as MGTOW he probably would have intended it as walking away from the “Patriarchy”.

MGTOW has something to do with Patriarchy, like the Mormons who practiced pedophilia under the name of some made up diety?

Really  dont think musicians or lefties or feminism “ruined society” …Think bigger – like state governments and the 535 members of our Legislative branch are ruining our society because of stupidity, greed, and willingly being bought by lobbyists representing inhumane corporations

You mean pedophiles who infiltrate religions (Catholics, Mormons, etc) to gain access to children. As someone that grew up Mormon, pedophilia isn’t one of their religious practices.

If you mean the early leaders of the Church (Old Joey Smith and Bring’um Young), then yes it’s accurate to say they married some young (12-18) women. Pretty sure Old Joey married twins at one point. He did marry a mother and a daughter.

John Lennon’s life went downhill when he started becoming mangina thanks to Yoko and inviting her to participate, that made the group grow apart.
