Imagine

Imagine there is anarchy.

Everyone's insane.

Buy today, pay tomorrow.

Credit card economy.

Imagine there is heaven,

You can get there if you pay.

Some new four-dollar sunglasses,

All the latest things.

Imagine all the people,

Living for today!

Imagine there's no planning.

LSD and no restraint.

Imagine all the money

It took to treat your STDs.

Imagine no commitments,

Come and go just as you please.

Imagine Yoko Ono

Breaking up your band.

Imagine old Vlad Lenin

In worker's paradise.

Imagine watered-down buddhism,

Mediated through drugged-up rock stars.

Imagine children singing

At the Olympic games.

You may say I’m alarmist

Or a hater, all the same.

But this song is creepy

Communistic bombast.

And if that’s not religion.

I really don’t know what is.

Erasing borders and unity is great.

Do we have to kill God along the way?

Hey hippie, what’s with all the hate?

Maybe that’s just what’s needed

To justify your way of life

Sleep with who you want to

Feel above them all.
