This Really Happened Lyrics

Half of them were Jews

The rest were gypsies, blacks and queers

A country based on freedom carried slaves 400 years

A Jersey boy from Freehold sang a song called "Jungleland"

And someone shot the guy who sang "Imagine"

This really happened

A Russian stopped a holocaust in 1983

He had a faith in others all the others couldn't see

'71 was Ram and Blue, Who's Next and Led Zep IV

And Hitler's nephew William fought against him in the war

This really happened

I've never claimed to understand this world that we inhabit

Balancing insanity and innocence

If any real love comes our way I suggest we grab it

The only thing makes anything make any sense

Gypsies, cripples, blacks and queers

The other half were Jews

You do something like that

You never know how much you lose

But you can get your mind blown

If you really pay attention

A guy showed up and sang us all "Imagine"

"Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Strawberry Fields Forever"

"Across The Universe" and "Revolution"

"All You Need Is Love" and "(Just Like) Starting Over"

"In My Life", "Norwegian Wood" and "Woman"

"Instant Karma" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand"

This really happened

This really happened

I've never claimed to understand this world that we inhabit

Balancing insanity and innocence

If any real love comes our way I suggest we grab it

It's the only thing makes anything make any sense

The only thing makes anything make any sense

It's the only thing makes anything make any sense

Any sense
