Invisibles Lyrics

Just me and Yoko Ono
We was waiting for Jerry to land
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
Singing, "Have a marijuana if you can"
His name was David Peel
And we found that he was real
He sang, "The Pope smokes dope every day"
Singing, "Power to the people today!"
New York City, back in New York City, New York City
Que pasa, New York?
Que pasa, New York?
Well down to Max's Kansas City
Got down the nitty gritty
With the Elephants Memory Band
Laid something down
As the news spread around
About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band!
And we played some funky boogie
And laid some tutti frutti
Singing, "Long Tall Sally's a man."
Up come a preacher man trying to be a teacher
Singing, "God's a red herring in drag!"
New York City, back in New York City, New York City
Que pasa, New York?
Que pasa, New York?
New York City, back in New York City, New York City
Que pasa, New York?
Que pasa, New York?
Well we did the Staten Island Ferry
Making movies for the telly
Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom
Tried to shake our image
Just a cycling through the Village
But found that we had left it back in London
Well nobody came to bug us
Hustle us or shove us
So we decided to make it our home
If the Man wants to shove us out
We gonna jump and shout
The Statue of Liberty said, "Come!"
New York City, back in New York City, New York City
Que pasa, New York?
Que pasa, New York?
New York City, back in New York City, New York City
Que pasa, New York?
Que pasa, New York?
The song "New York" speaks about the experiences of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their move to New York City in the early 1970s. In the first verse, the lyrics mention the encounter with David Peel, a street musician who David Bowie referred to as the "King of the Lower East Side." Peel sings about cannabis and satirizes the Catholic Church by singing that the Pope smokes dope. The lyrics also mention a police officer, symbolizing the oppressive nature of authority figures in America. The phrase "Power to the people" is a reference to the Black Panther Party, which was a revolutionary socialist organization that was active in the 1960s and 1970s in America.
The second verse of the song references Max's Kansas City, a nightclub that was popular among musicians and artists in New York in the 1970s. John and Yoko frequently performed there with their band, the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band. They also played at the Fillmore and Apollo stages for freedom. The lyrics mention how the band tried to distance themselves from their image, but realized their rock and roll roots could not be ignored.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "New York City" multiple times, with "qué pasa" (what's happening?) interjected between each repetition, symbolizing the diversity and vibrancy of the city.

Great segment! A country that doesn't prioritize the well-being of its people....cannot call itself just.

once a mum is flagged as poor, child support is taking away her kids, no matter what.
I would be all for general child support at around 500 Dollars per Month.
Surely fully taxable for some people.
Bottom line is, when you can afford so much money towards foster families, why not support all kids 🙂
