Imagine Songtext
Imagine a world, where I reigned supreme.
Where everybody got what they want and need
Where its illegal to be racist or sexist.
Where everyone had the same rights, and that's not the half of it.
Imagine a world where we're al free of sorrow and pain.
Where no one insulted the handicapped or the insane.
Where everyone was at peace and total content.
Cause there was no hatred or contempt.
And yet this world is so unfair
Why doesn't anyone seem to care?
People say stuff and don't take it back.
They think it actually matters if your white of black.
No one is left to listen or hear.
Half the world is left livin in fear.
Imagine a world where we all spoke the same.
Where we could understand what the other was sayin.
Where there was a cure for all disease.
And everybody lived at total ease.
Imagine a world where there were no armful drugs.
Where there were no street fights between gangs of thugs.
Where everybody was young and free.
Where everybody had liberty.
Imagine a world of fair democracy.
Where theres no need for loan shark accountancy.
Where everything, even knowledge is free.
That's what I had pictured last night in a dream.
Because this world is so unfair
Why doesn't anyone seem to care?
People say stuff and don't take it back.
They think it actually matters if your white of black.
No one is left to listen or hear.
Half the world is left livin in fear.
Where everybody got what they want and need
Where its illegal to be racist or sexist.
Where everyone had the same rights, and that's not the half of it.
Imagine a world where we're al free of sorrow and pain.
Where no one insulted the handicapped or the insane.
Where everyone was at peace and total content.
Cause there was no hatred or contempt.
And yet this world is so unfair
Why doesn't anyone seem to care?
People say stuff and don't take it back.
They think it actually matters if your white of black.
No one is left to listen or hear.
Half the world is left livin in fear.
Imagine a world where we all spoke the same.
