Demoverzi skladby nahrál John Lennon v prosinci 1970 pod názvem Make love not war. Přímou inspirací k textu byla kniha Mind games od Roberta Masterse a Jean Houstonové, kterou John zařadil mezi své tři nejdůležitější knihy života (po bok knih Yoko Ono Grapefruit a Arthura Janova Primal scream). Píseň vyšla 16. listopadu 1973 na britském singlu (Apple R 5994) a umístila se na 19. příčce hitparády. Ve Spojených státech vyšel singl 29. října 1973 (Apple 1868) a obsadil 18. místo hitparády. Na druhé straně singlu byla píseň Meat city. Jednalo se o jediný Lennonův singl, který vyšel v roce 1973.

We're playing those mind games together pushing the barriers, planting seeds playing the mind guerrilla chanting the mantra, peace on earth. We all been playing those mind games forever some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil doing the mind guerrilla some call it magic, the search for the grail. Love is the answer and you know that for sure love is a flower, you got to let it, you got to let it grow. So keep on playing those mind games together faith in the future, outta the now you just can't beat on those mind guerrillas absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind yeah we're playing those mind games forever projecting our images in space and in time. Yes is the answer and you know that for sure yes is surrender, you got to let it, you got to let it go. So keep on playing those mind games together doing the ritual dance in the sun millions of mind guerrillas putting their soul power to the karmic wheel keep on playing those mind games forever raising the spirit of peace and love. Love... (I want you to make love, not war I know you've heard it before) © 1973 Lenono Music/BMG Music Publ. Ltd. |
Hrajeme tyto hry mysli společně odsunujeme překážky, vyséváme semena hrajeme guerillu mysli modlíme se mantru, ať je na zemi mír. Hráli jsme tyto hry mysli vždycky jistí druidové odhalili své závoje válčíme guerillu mysli někteří to nazývají zázračné hledání grálu. Láska je odpověď a vy to jistě víte láska je květina, nechte ji, nechte ji růst. A tak dál hrajeme tyto hry mysli společně ať dnešní víra je zítřejší vyznání a vy teď nenaléhejte na tyto guerilly mysli jsou všude i v kamenech vašich myšlenek hrajeme tyto hry mysli vždycky projektujeme naše obrazy ve vesmíru a čase. Ano je odpověď a vy to jistě víte ano je odevzdání, nechte ho, nechte ho plynout. A tak dál hrajeme tyto hry mysli společně tančete na slunci rituál milióny guerill mysli vplétají sílu ducha do karmického kola hrajte dál tyto hry mysli neustále vyvolávejte ducha míru a lásky. Láska ... (Chci, abyste se milovali a neválčili vím, že už jste to ale někde slyšeli.) © 2001 Rigby |

Demoverzi této písně nahrál John Lennon v květnu 1971 pod názvem Call my name. V prosinci 1971 ji nahrál pro album Sometime in New York City, ale nakonec ji nevydal. V konečné verzi je pozměněn text. Výraz Aisumasen pochází z japonštiny a znamená Promiň.

You are my weakness, you are my strength Nothing I have in the world makes better sense Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea When we're together or when we're apart There's never a space in between the beat of our hearts Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree One day at a time is all we do One day at a time is good for you You are my woman, I am your man Nothing else matters at all, now I understand That I'm the door and you're the key Every morning I wake in your smile Feeling your breath on my face and the love in your eyes Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee One day at a time is all we do One day at a time is good for us too (you too) Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree Cause I'm the door and you're the key Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee |

(Alright Boys, this is it, over the hill) We don't care what flag you're waving We don't even want to know your name We don't care where you're from or where you're going All we know is that you came You're making all our decisions We have just one request of you That while you're thinking things over Here's something you just better do Free the people now Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now Well we were caught with our hands in the air Don't despair paranoia is everywhere We can shake it with love when we're scared So let's shout it aloud like a prayer Free the people now Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now We understand your paranoia But we don't want to play your game You think you're cool and know what you are doing 666 is your name So while you're jerking off each other You better bear this thought in mind Your time is up you better know it But maybe you don't read the signs Free the people now Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now Well you were caught with your hands in the kill And you still got to swallow your pill As you slip and you slide down the hill On the blood of the people you killed Stop the killing (Free the people now) Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now Bring on the Lucie |

My intentions are good, I use my intuition It takes me for a ride But I never understood other people's superstitions It seemed like suicide As I play the game of life I try to make it better each and every day And when I struggle in the night The magic of the music seems to light the way Ah, Intuition takes me there Intuition takes me everywhere Well my instincts are fine I had to learn to use them in order to survive And time after time confirmed an old suspicion It's good to be alive And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication With nothing left to say It's then I realize it's only a condition Of seeing things that way Ah, Intuition takes me there Intuition takes me anywhere (Takes me anywhere, alright) Ah, Intuition takes me there |

Out the blue you came to me And blew away life's misery Out the blue life's energy Out the blue you came to me Everyday I thank the Lord and Lady For the way that you came to me Anyway it had to be two minds one destiny Out the blue ... All my life's been a long slow knife I was born just to get to you Anyway I survived long enough to make you my wife Out the blue ... Like a U.F.O. you came to me And blew away life's misery Out the blue life's energy Out the blue you came to me |

We don't want no pig brother scene! Only people know ... We'll 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't do Fish or cut bait it's our future we're making All together now pull the chain We don't want no pig brother scene! Only people know just how to talk to people Only people know just how to change the world (repeat three more times) |

The years have passed so quickly One thing I've understood I am only learning To tell the trees from the wood I know what's coming down And I know where it's coming from And I know and I'm sorry (yes I am) But I never could speak my mind And I know just how you feel And I know now what I have done And I know and I'm guilty (yes I am) But I never could read your mind I know what I was missing But now my eyes can see I put myself in your place As you did for me Today I love you more than yesterday Right now I love you more right now And I know what's coming down I can feel where it's coming from And I know it's getting better (all the time) As we share in each other's minds Today I love you more than yesterday Right now I love you more right now Ooh hoo no more crying |

Název písně je stejný jako název výstavy z roku 1968, na které se John Lennon objevil v pytli. Text je o jeho potkávání východní kultury a o jeho vztahu k Yoko Ono.

From Liverpool to Tokyo What a way to go From distant lands one woman one man Let the four winds blow Three thousand miles over the ocean Three thousand light years from the land of the rising sun Love has opened up my eyes Love has blown right through Wherever you are, you are here Wherever you are, you are here Three thousand miles over the ocean Three thousand light years from the land of the surprising sun Well now east is east and west is west The twain shall meet East is west and west is east Let it be complete Three thousand miles over the ocean Three thousand light years from the land of the morning star |

Píseň se původně jmenovala Shoeshine. K jejímu přejmenování Johna možná vedl plakát z tehdejší doby, který zobrazoval kreslenou prasečí mámu s dítětem a pod nimi byl text Meat city.
