My comments are interspersed in bold
Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky, Religion - "opiate of the people" to quote Marx. I'm sure you're all quite familiar with anti-religous sentiments of Communism.
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries, Classic communism felt that the nation-state was merely another construct to seperate the working men from each other.
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too, Again with this theme
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions, Classic communism - denial of private property rights
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... From Each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
You may say Im a dreamer, Yep...I do
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
