about

Benjamin Russell: "Elyce and I were so upset when we heard the news on the radio - we'd been huge Lennon fans. We wrote this song about it."

lyrics

Who Shot John Lennon? song by Elyce and Benjamin Russell
© The Clear Blue Enterprise (socan)

Under a bad sign, moon on the rise
Everybody uptight and me...
I got the picture, I understand
What you want you get on demand

Did you even notice?
Did you even care?
Did you even notice he was there?

Who shot John Lennon?
Who let it happen?
Who shot John Lennon down?

Who's gonna answer
When questions roll in?
Where do we begin?

Who shot John Lennon?...

The end of an age
The end of a dream
Now yesterday is dead

Who shot John Lennon?
