Yes, it's gibberish, but it's a nice, gentle tune, so nobody really pays much attention to the words, aside from the few, unreconstructed hippies that are still around.

Lennon had a real talent for gibberish as lyrics -- witness: I am the Walrus.

Yes, it's gibberish, but it's a nice, gentle tune, ..... Lennon had a real talent for gibberish as lyrics.. I agree completely. Lennon was a very talented lyricist (one of the very best). Is Imagine empty socialist-utopia drivel? Yes. Does it piss me off? No. It's a SONG for cripe sake.
