Lyrics

Imagine This Imagine this… Everybody broke and they wanna get loot/ Ain’t no telling who these fools gonna go shoot/ Cops on the block sporting big black boots/ Troops… It’s like Beirut/ Imagine how close this is to the truth/ People feeling hopeless they got no roof/ What you gonna do when the masses regroup/ Imagine all the powers that they’re gonna rebuke/ Now imagine if you can everybody got money/ And you ain’t gotta worry about food in your tummy/ Imagine all the schools in the ghetto ain’t slummy/ Imagine no ghettos, imagine no dummies/ Imagine people having hella food in their cabinets/ And as for weed you can get a whole bag of it/ But this establishment just isn’t having this/ So understanding this all that I can do is imagine it/ Chorus: As the world turns, everybody wanna know/ Where the hell we gonna go when it’s gone/ I don’t think well all live that long/ Now just imagine imagine/ Verse 2 Imagine me… Sitting on a couch in a house on the hill/ Slouched like the grouch blazing out trying chill/ Tank’s hanging out flipping trout on the grill/ We all fill our plates and we all get our fill/ When suddenly the earth stands still/ It’s cool and it’s calm and the silence unreal/ A flash from the east and the violence unveiled/ The skies go dark and it’s all a done deal/ Now imagine if, I just imagined this/ And what would happen if the people you were standing with/ Decide they’ve had it with, this establishment/ And had a plan to fix the world and took command of it/ And what would happen if each woman and each man enlists/ Each passionate in their pursuit for peace and happiness/ Now let’s imagine if this world even can exist/ Or am I just puffing way too much cannabis/ Chorus: Verse 3 Imagine… What if it was all a facade/ All the gods and jihads and the masons in the lodge/ And what about the lives that were lost/ And the wars that were caused for a lord that’s a fraud/ And imagine this was all just an accident/ No will of god or promises of everlasting bliss/ No ill evangelists or wack religious practices/ Just people happy with a chance they get to stack some chips/ I can imagine that your thinking this is blasphemous/ I see the problem but I don’t know what the answer is/ This system banishes people with disadvantages/ Handing us bandages for lesions that are cancerous/ Now just imagine if this planets inhabitants/ All took a chance and decided to reexamine this/ And if we did are we prepared for what the action is/ Now let’s imagine if we all took a stance and lived/ Chorus: As the world turns… Everybody wanna know/ Where the hell we gonna go when it’s gone/ I don’t think we’ll all live that long/ Now just imagine if this world went on/ Imagine where this world went wrong/ Imagine if this world were gone/ Imagine… Imagine… Imagine this/
