	In the Double Fantasy album Yoko blasts John with the lyric '...but now you're giving me your window smile / I'm moving on, I'm moving on, you're getting phony...' We know that Yoko is referring to the period of their lives coinciding with the making of this Mind Games album (when they separated) and listening to the somewhat shallow upbeat songs on side two, like "Only People", it's hard to disagree with Yoko. I'm sure the lukewarm reaction to this album is for just that reason--we are used to the caustic and razor-sharp John Lennon, not this guy writing songs which could be sung by feel-good guys like Jimmy Buffett or Paul McCartney (yikes!)

Lyrics

Only people just know how to talk to people
Only people know just how to change the world
Only people realize the power of people
A million heads are better than one, so come on, get it on!

Well I know how we tried and the millions of tears that we cried
Now we are hipper we been thru the trip
And we can't be denied with woman and man side by side
Make no mistake it's our future we're making,
bake the cake and eat it too!
We don't want no pig brother scene

Well it's long overdue there
ain't nothing better to do
Now we are hipper we been thru the trip
We can fly right on thru, there's nothing on earth we can do
Fish or cut bait it's our future
e're making all together now pull the chain!
We don't want no pig brother scene
