Imagine Lyrics

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 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 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

*************************************************************

Imagine there's no heaven
...heaven is NOT OUT THERE...but...very close...very VERY...CLOSE...!

It's easy if you try
...Sure thing! Man!.....The Most Difficult Thing on Earth is OCCAM'S RAZOR!

Lennon stated he had taken LSD thousands of times...
Why would one take LSD thousands of times?
I like his thoughts, music and public service, but his choices were a bit odd.

Not to mention, there is a video of him at a home he was having built. It was at the swimming pool area of the home, and there were chairs he didn't like, so he said something to the effect of "OH, these chairs will never do, they are too cheap. Yoko, we will have to buy much better chairs" then they got into a stretched Mercedes limo and left. Looked really no different than any other Pre-Madonna.

It struck me as a bit odd, that what he preached in terms of equality and peace, seem to be at odds with how he actually lived.

Good Point!

Why Beatles should go to Recording Companies....to make Millions...

..rather than Beat the Drums on the Street...& say what CAME UP ..from Somewhere!

...came UP from Somewhere...is ...DEPTH.....

...No Relevance to LSD, Booze, Pot....or Mushroom...or ayahuasca or peyote......

There are MILLIONS on EARTH...ON...
LSD, Booze, Pot....or Mushroom...or ayahuasca or peyote......

But...HOW MANY....can come up with a ...Poem...Lyric...Statement...Expression...Vision...
.....Insight....like 'Imagine'?

No relevance between Steroids and ...True...Olympic Gold Medals!

John Lennon was CAUGHT...in the DUALITY...of INSIGHT....& DAILY PRACTICALITY..
...like EVERY Walking Creature on Earth..
...Including Me, You, All the Best & the Highest on Earth ...in 2010..

You say he didn't like some CHAIRS...in his compound..AND was disgruntled about it...
...May be he REPLACED the CHAIRS.....and his BENZ!
...BUT ..he DID NOT....replace his YOKO.....Did He?

john lennon yoko - Google Search

BUT 50% of Americans....REPLACE....their YOKOs...& (Mr.Yoko!!!)

There is NO PERFECT WALKER....on...EARTH..!
...but there are some, whose ...inner diamond...may OCCASIONALLY....break Free!

I don't Advocate ANY Hallucinogens....like LSD....or Politics...or Fame ..or Glory..or ...Money!


BAD POINT!
"at odds with how he actually lived."
..How Many Humans DID John Lennon...SHOOT & KILL...?
..How Many Humans DID John Lennon...was VIOLENT, MALICIOUS, MANIPULATIVE..
...towards...?
..Compared to GOVERNMENTS, MILITARIES, RELIGIOUS ENTITIES...Mafia..
....rapist..serial killer?

SEE ...beyond Furniture, Transport and Palaces.....! ( As JL tried....)

WHAT DO YOU SEE.....bereft.....of ....ABOVE...?

Many everyday, though I enjoy his version immensely. Utopian thought was around long before JL. You might research the maker of the disposable razor, and manned named Gillette.

He dreamed of a world where everyone in the world lived around the Niagra Falls, which could provide power for everything. People would live in huge towers in peace and harmony. This dream was killed and he resorted to making razors, and giving a lot of money to his community for kids...

And slicing up living animals testing those razors.

Bad choice.

"he resorted to making razors"

Was this Post-LSD?

Bad choice.
Also, out of curiosity, did the founder sanction the testing while he was alive? Maybe he did, I was just curious.
Also, if he was as a progressive thinker back at the turn of the century, do you think in our animal friendly moral culture today he would be on the animal killing side? Meaning people change as they become educated, right?

I've never seen that video but it sounds like he was joking (you would hope)

Still Lennons dickishness is well documented. He made fun of the disabled, wanted to sleep with his mother, probably killed Stu Sutcliffe, was incredibly cruel to longtime friends, actively cheated on his wives, etc.

Reportedly he was complaining about his lack of funds to a head at apple and the guy replied "remember the song John, Imagine no possessions" John's reply was "it's just a bloody song"

Still I really like Imagine and all it represents politically and ideologically I just don't think Lennon was really behind it.

Nor do I, at least not as much as one might think...

I don`t recall him torturing animals.

"Wrong" comes in all shapes and sizes.

One "wrong" is not equal to another "wrong" simply because they are both "wrong".
I see you avoided my follow up comment for you. Or do you need more time?

But he wrote really cool songs.

Some of their stuff is alright. I just don't think they deserved the hype they got. And it annoys me when people like Lennon or Gandhi are painted like some sort of Christ figures, totally glossing over their glaring flaws and failings.
