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.
Yes. Yes it is.
A song by a wealthy heroin addict.
"NO!"
It IS their religion!
Dennis Prager wrote a great article on this:
Lennons utopia is our dystopia. A world without God to give people some certitude that all their suffering is not meaningless is a nightmare. A world without religion means a world without any systematic way of ennobling people. A world without countries is a world without the United States of America, and it is a world governed by the morally imbecilic United Nations, where mass murderers sit on its human rights councils. A world without heaven or hell is a world without any ultimate justice, where torturers and their victims have identical fates oblivion. A world without possessions is a world in which some enormous state possesses everything, and the individual is reduced to the status of a serf.
Absolutely.
What a hypocrite.
John Lennon had a few loose screws.
I remember hearing it in the car as a young child and told mom I liked it. She responded “The meaning behind the song is not good.” So then I tried to make out the words and the only part I didn’t like was “Imagine there’s no heaven.” I wondered why in the world someone would think that’s a good thing!
Would go well with tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Imagine there’s no Yoko....

I have an Imagine No Liberals tee shirt, with big happy face on it.
Last time I wore at Disneyland, you would not believe how many people came up to me and wanted their picture taken next to me.
I felt like a celebrity.
That song gets a mention here: http://www.humournet.com/misc.humour/pc_primer.txt
No religion.. no Heaven.. no Hell.. no possessions..
Damn.. That sounds like Pol Pot’s vision of the “new Asian man.”
Imagine there’s no Lennon...
With out God the earth is an empty shell...
Yoko got run over by a reindeer...
