A Real Nowhere Man by The Better Nevers
is based on the original idea of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and The Beatles in their 1965 hit single Nowhere Man and embellished by the pessimist philosophy of David Benatar that takes Lennon's notion of futility a step further.
Original music and lyrics John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Original arrangement The Beatles.
This version's lyrics by Matti Häyry, inspired by David Benatar's seminal book Better Never to Have Been 2006, and performance by Matti Häyry.
A REAL NOWHERE MAN
Better never to have been
This your parents didn’t see
So they sent you down that road of misery
Failed to grasp asymmetry
Thought too much of quality
Couldn’t see that all they had was fantasy
Sleep is good, calm is better
(No life)
But the best would be never
(All right)
To have been brought into this sadness at all
They were blind as they could be
With their dreams of harmony
Pollyanna be their guide to destiny
Sleep is good, calm is better
(No life)
But the best would be never
(All right)
To have been brought into this badness at all
Nonexistence, let me stay
Can there be a brighter day?
Without you and me and without anyone
Sleep is good, calm is better
(No life)
But the best would be never
(All right)
To have been brought into this madness at all
Better never to have been
Quality, asymmetry
Better never to have been at all
Better never to have been at all
Dedicated to Amanda Sukenick on her the-meaning-of-life-according-to-the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy better-never-to-have-been anniversary.
