Imagine

December 8th, 2009 by John

Here we are again…

Twenty-nine years ago today, some piece of shit shot a man who was on his way home. As is usually the case, the piece of shit was insignificant and the the victim was beloved by millions. Fortunately, John Lennon’s work is still with us to enjoy. So take a moment to sit back, listen to “I’m So Tired”, “In My Life”, “Working Class Hero”, or one of the other many classics given to us by one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

And as cliché as this may be, maybe take a moment to let these words sink in.

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 isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
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 that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

    i’m sick and tired of hearing things
    from uptight-short sighted-narrow minded hypocritics
    all i want is the truth
    just give me some truth
    i’ve had enough of reading things
    by nuerotic-pyschotic-pig headed politicians
    all i want is the truth
    just give me some truth
    no short haired-yellow bellied
    son of tricky dicky
    is gonna mother hubbard
    soft soap me
    with just a pocketful of hope
    money for dope
    money for rope
    i’m sick to death of seeing things
    from tight lipped-condescending-mommies
    little chauvinists
    all i want is the truth
    just give me some truth
    i’ve had enough of watching scenes
    of schizophrenic ego-centric-paranoic primadonnas
    all i want is the truth
    just give me some truth
