Nobody Told Me Lyrics
Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed
Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
Meaning of Nobody Told Me
“Nobody Told Me” is a disorienting and unsettling exploration of the unexpected realities of life, delivered with John Lennon’s signature detached cynicism. The song captures a feeling of profound bewilderment and isolation as it lists a series of bizarre and troubling events – from global conflicts to technological marvels and societal absurdities – none of which were prepared for. It's a lament about being thrust into a world overflowing with chaos, contradictions, and unsettling strangeness, where everyone seems driven by superficial pursuits while ignoring deeper problems. Lennon’s repeated refrain, “Nobody told me there’d be days like these,” underscores the central theme: the devastating realization that life isn’t predictable or controllable, leaving the listener feeling utterly lost and exposed to a world far stranger than imagined.
