    Imagine
    John Lennon 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

    I visited strawberry fields last month. There was a guy there playing guitar, singing... there were beautiful flowers on the ground. It was awesome. I love that song.

    I visited 'Strawberry Fields' in Central Park last year & stood outside the Dakota Building -in the exact spot where John Lennon was shot.

    I like 'Imagine' but I like 'Working Class Hero' even better.

    J-L said that: "Imagine was just Working Class Hero with sugar on it".

    Working-Class Hero:

    "They keep you doped with Religion & Sex & T.V.

    & You think you are so clever & classless & free,

    ......but you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see".

    -When I think of Britain today with it's dumbed-down television & newspapers;- I think of what John Lennon said in:'Working Class Hero'.
    The rich get richer & they like the poor to act stupid & happy with their few chattels.The Establishment says: "You can be rich too!!!!- just win the national lottery "-at odds of 14 million to 1.



    John Lennon told the truth - most pop stars won't.

    How wonderful to see this song posted here just like that... with no special intros....

    I think it would be nice to see it posted like that from time to time... just to remind people - You're not the only one.
