Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

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

Wouldn't this be great! No wars. No IRA bombs! No Vietnam! No Korea! People crossing countries like states and living as one! Unfortunately this will not happen in our lifetime.
You won't find many bigger John Lennon fans than me, but the man was a naive idiot. he was a genius as far a making music went, but he was almost a nob-functional human being and was clueless when it came to politics.

I have to sing this song every so often and I'm almost embarrassed every time I have to do it. I don't know if I've ever read any thing so naive and short sighted.
