You Are Not Your Emotions,you Have Emotions,and

Nobody Loves You When You're Down And Out.

Now, In The Sixties We Were Naive, Like Children. Everybody Went Back To Their Rooms And Said 'we Didn't Get A Wonderful World Of Just Flowers And Peace And Happy Chocolate, And It Won't Be Just Pretty And Beautiful All The Time,' And Just Like Babies Everyone Went Back To Their Rooms And Sulked. 'we're Going To Stay In Our Rooms And Play Rock And Roll And Not Do Anything Else, Because The World's A Nasty Horrible Place, Because It Didn't Give Us Everything We Cried For.' Right? Crying For It Wasn't Enough.

We're Trying To Sell Peace, Like A Product, You Know, And Sell It Like People Sell Soap Or Soft Drinks. And It's The Only Way To Get People Aware That Peace Is Possible, And It Isn't Just Inevitable To Have Violence. Not Just War - All Forms Of Violence.

I Enjoyed It When Football Crowds In The Early Days Would Sing 'all Together Now' - That Was Another One. I Was Also Pleased When The Movement In America Took Up 'give Peace A Chance' Because I Had Written It With That In Mind Really.

If You Tried To Give Rock And Roll Another Name, You Might Call It 'chuck Berry'.
