JOHN LENNON in 1969 on how we — the people — are the government and have the power, and the sooner we realise it and do something useful with it…
"You know, anybody knows that the people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people. The people are unaware. It's like they're not educated to realize that they have power. They put the politicians in power. They vote for the local mayor. The people do it. But the system is so geared that everybody believes that just the father will fix everything, the father being the government. Government will fix everything. It is all government's fault, you know, shake a fist at the government. Well, we are the government. The people are the government and the people have the power, but we must try and make them aware of this."
