    Below is illustrated how John Lennon incorporated Marxist and communist ideologies into his music, in the famous single, Imagine.

    1-Imagine that there was no heaven, it's easy if you try
    2-No hell below us, above us only sky

    3-Imagine all the people living for Today

    4-Imagine there are no countries

    5-It isn't hard to, nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too

    Imagine all the people living in peace, Imagine no possessions

    I wonder if you can, no need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of Man

    6-Imagine all the people sharing all the world.

    You may say that I am a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

    7-I hope some day you'll join us when the world be as one.

    Musicians have always exploited Music as a means of propagating political ideas. Political ideologies are ingeniously diffused without the listener having to confirm affiliation. John Lennon was recognised as much as a 'thinker' as he was a musician. He was hailed by many, and still is, as a proponent of Democracy.
