Imagine 2005:
to the tune of “Imagine” by John Lennon

 1) Imagine there's no money - Healthcare for you was free
A barterhood of brothers - No more pov-er-ty
*Imagine being older   *And aging beautifully!
Imagine no obsessions - And no obesity
No more toothpick models - Such starved insanity
*Imagine clothes don't matter   *Or make you better than me!
You may say it's impossible
But you haven't even tried
I hope someday you'll wake up
And know you must de-cide!
2) Imagine no pol-i-tic-ians - Pushy Elephants and Asses
Imagine all of us as equals - No more trumped-up classes
*Imagine all the media   *Truthful with the masses!
Imagine a “living” wage - I wonder if you dare
Imagine slavery a crime - And Congress really cared
*Imagine every neighbor    *Ready to love and share!
You may say I'm a looney
But I'm not a TV freak
I don't dig those commercials
With all that doublespeak!
3) Imagine no more clutter - Where'd it come from' mystery
Walking in your kitchen - Of sparse simplicity
*Imagine your teen helping   *And doing it for free!
Imagine no more billionaires - Or for-feit-ing our guns
Imagine no more homeless - A place for everyone
*Imagine that the o-zone   *Is protecting us from sun!
You may say I'm a loser
But I'm winning at the game
I hope someday you'll get it
And learn to do the same!
4) Imagine no more phones calls - From agents you don't know
Imagine this is banned - For the privacy of home
*Imagine the Constitution   *Where did this right go?
Imagine time for family - It's a poss-i-bil-i-ty
If only people knew - How to work for what they need
*Imagine no more cutting   *Our Civil Lib-er-ties!
You may say I'm schemer
But inside you each agree
That freedom's disappearing
For false se-cur-i-ty!
