The Beatles – Happiness Is a Warm Gun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
Hey, is it *always* just about sex and drugs? Come on, give the Beatles more credit. Their songs became ever more philosophical. I know their stuff can be interpreted in many different ways - part of what makes them great - but I think this song has a philosophical slant. It's a parody of typical love songs (i.e. "when i hold you in my arms") and it refers to the pleasure some people take in violence ("happiness is a warm gun"). The message here is about human nature and the disturbing way that we embrace violence rather than peace. But I admit he "I need a fix 'cause I'm going down" line sounds like drugs, haha. |
