John Lennon saw through Republican politics before Watergate ever happened. This track from his “Imagine” album, released in 1971, finds him spitting fire about a lying government (mostly, at the time, about the war in Vietnam). I think it should be the theme song of the Trump impeachment hearings, used on every TV fadeout and fadein.

The song has been covered by lots of people over the years, from Generation X in the punk era…
…to Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs on “Under the Covers, Vol. 2.”
