anyhow, a lot of people seem to think that lennon is telling people to escape the stuff he's singing about by "following" him, but i think it makes even more sense to interpret that line as sarcastic - or maybe ironic - than the chorus. he's not outside the system. why follow him? what's being a "hero" even supposed to mean?
um... interesting interpretation, fairest.
