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 that 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 that 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

I can't help but read an accidental negative-Totalitarianism in that (And the world WILL be as ONE) and I find 'Imagine alll the people/ living for today' to be one of the most reprehensible sentiments imaginable. I shall offer no more, as Messr Instigator is, generally speaking, a top poster and not someone I can be arsed with arguing with.
I'm just going to say that I am talking from cold, hard, objective, ontological fact when I re-iterate it's the worst thing ever, apart from Bono.
