A lot of John and George's songs were nasty and/or cynical:

You Can't Do That
Run For Your Life
Don't Bother Me
Think For Yourself
Mean Mr. Mustard

It's no wonder in the Beatles parody The Rutles, the Lennon character is called Ron Nasty.
Lol, yeah! Don't know how I forgot that!

Well, I also noticed that pride is a recurring theme in a lot of John's songs. He writes about how different forms of pride got in the way of his relationships in several songs.

She Loves You
Yes It Is
I'm a Loser
Jealous Guy
You Can't Do That
Run For Your Life

Yeah, George, as I understand it, didn't like people imposing on him. Plus, he didn't like people underestimating him or putting him down (something that happened a lot unfortunately!)
