Crippled Inside Lyrics

Lyric discussion by GrungyBeatle 

Cover art for Crippled Inside lyrics by John Lennon

One thing John Lennon does in alot of his songs is sing about a particular person he knows but then makes it ambigous by refering to the person as he/she or you. I think this song is sort of on the same line. He must have met a person who was "crippled inside" so to speak.

I love the entire working of the song. The tone of the lyrics sounds pretty preachy and in the part where he refers to the cats having nine lives but the dog only having one is the shit!!
