Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...


Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...


Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...


You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

John Lennon from his Imagine album

Imagine a King murdered by a nice kid from Fort Worth
who traveled the world for the YMCA.

Imagine this nice kid hanging out at the Dakota
with out the security guard running him off.

Imagine

It was 1980,

exactly 24 years ago,

The beginning of the Reagan Revolution.

Who would have thought that after

the lies, and the killing, and the humiliation of Vietnam,

and after the lies and the humiliation of Watergate,

and the lies and the Iran Contra scandal,

that the right would win the Revolution?

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out?

Don’t you know it’s gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?

You say you’ve got a real solution
Well, you know We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know We are doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is, brother, you’ll have to wait

Don’t you know it’s gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you knowYou’d better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow

Don’t you know it’s gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?

Ah, I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
