1966

“The trouble with government as it is is that it doesn’t represent the people, it controls them.  All they seem to want to do– the people who run this country– is keep themselves in power and stop us knowing what’s going on…  I’m not saying politicians are all terrible men.  It’s just the system of government that I don’t like.  It’ll be hard to change.”  ~John Lennon to magazine Disc Weekly in 1966, as quoted by Jon Weiner in Come Together: John Lennon In His Time ©1984
