"Run For Your Life" Album cut

John Lennon said that of all the material he'd written, this was his least favorite. He felt it was nothing more than album filler, though it was one that George most liked, however. John lifted the first line was straight out of an Elvis tune from the Sun Records days called "Baby, Let's Play House" and then later regretted the tone it set. Didn't stop them from including the track on "Rubber Soul."

Was Lennon embarrassed by realizing he might possibly have some underlying homicidal and despotic tendencies?
Having such doesn't necessarily mean that one will ever follow through.
That could possibly be why he later became such an obsessively passionate "peace-nick". Subconsciously keeping himself "in check".
