LOVE IS THE ANSWER

Forums:

I think Phil played NYC one year on December 8th, I almost wrote him a letter, but I thought this would have been such a beautiful tribute to John, I could see this really developing into a beautiful jam

[Verse 1]
We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barrier, planting seed
Playing the mind guerilla
Chanting the mantra, "peace on Earth"
We all be playing those mind games forever
Some kind of Druid dude, lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail

[Chorus]
Love is the answer
And you know that, for sure
Love is the flower
You gotta let it, gotta let it grow

[Verse 2]
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerillas
Absolute elsewhere, in the stones of your mind

[Bridge]
Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever Projecting our images in space and in time


[Chorus]
Yes is the answer And you know that for sure Yes is surrender You gotta let it, you gotta let it go

[Verse 3]
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual, dancing the sun
Millions of mind guerillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel

[Bridge]
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
Love!

[Outro]
I want you to make love, not war
I know you've heard it before

Way MEH no

meh on brother!  

I always thought John was utilizing the double entendre with this tune, like the casual listener would think it's in regards to a marital thing...like an ongoing argument, but what John was really alluding to was the psychedelic revolution of consciousness 

Love this tune...wouldve loved to have seen phil give it a go...you shoulda written that letter....put a letter in the mail

great links Bryen! thanks

I think this is another song about the revolution of consciousness cleverly disguised as a love song...
