Song lyrics
So Sgt. Pepper took you by suprise,
You better thru that mother's eyes,
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead,
The one mistake you made was in your head,
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king,
Jump when your mamma tell you any thing,
The only thing you did was yesterday,
And since your gone you're just another day,
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two,
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do,
The sound you make is muzak to my ears,
You must have learnt something all thos years,
How do you Sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?

From what I've read on this subject, John Lennon apparently felt that ever since Sgt. Peper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came out, The Beatles stopped being his band and became Paul McCartney's band. Evidently, John was considered more or less the leader up to that point. John has been quoted on record as complaining, "We got tired of being Paul's sidemen." That's one of the main reasons he's cited for the break-up. Also, it seems that John felt some resentment about Paul rejecting Yoko Ono. So by the time Imagine got released, I guess it was time to let Paul have it. This is all coming from various interviews I've read over time. But I agree, they made each other very wealthy men, they shouldn't be insulting one another. All you need is love, right?

Lennon was only responding to hidden m[topic=]essages paul was hiding in his songs. Paul and lennon are the greatest song writers ever its sad to see them working against each other
