I think John would approve of this cover of his song....he always loved edginess in music, and the Mule delivers that edge

This gives me goosebumps. It's so intense Warren voice is just so powerful

Best rendition of that song I have ever seen by far. Lennon's acoustical original aside of course. Words that hurts the heart right where you live man. Precise lyrics is what separates the talented & gifted troubadours which there are many, from the Dylans, and the Lennons who are on a higher plain. John soulfully sings, "they hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool". Followed by, "till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules". PERFECT! And the melody again PERFECT! Who could know that a song you loved like you did so many others almost a half century ago would become one of the top 3 songs fucking defining your life. Meaning that "If you work hard, keep your nose clean, and excel to become the best that it wasn't true that you would be rewarded with happiness in your work". Big lie.

How did it take me almost 7 years to find this???

[@yogi2436]

John Lennon would have loved this !!

[@carolpage6448]

My dad worked in a paper mill his whole life and hated it. I understand this song and what it means to be on the wrong side of the tracks. Left all that behind decades ago. Thanks, Warren. You totally rock.
