John LENNON
and The PLASTIC ONO BAND
(with the FLUX FIDDLERS)

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 isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
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 Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

2. Crippled Inside

---

You can shine your shoes and wear a suit,
You can comb your hair and look quite cute,
You can hide your face behind a smile,
One thing you can't hide is when your crippled inside,

You can wear a mask and paint you face,
You can call youself a new race,
You can Wear a coller and a tie,
One thing you can't hide is when your crippled inside,

Well you know your cat has nine lives babe,
Nine lives to it's self,
But you only got one and a dog's life ain't fun,
Mamma take alook outside,

You can go to church and sing a hymn,
Judge me by the colour of my skin,
You can live a lie untill you die,
One thing you can't hide is when you crippled inside.

3. Jealous Guy

---

I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I mad you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,

I was feeling insecure,
You night not love me any more,

I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

4. It`s So Hard

---

You got to live,
You got to love,
You got to be somebody,
You got to shove,
But it's hard,
It's really hard,
Some times I feel like going down,

You go to eat,
You got to drink,
You got to feel something,
You got to worry,
It's so hard,
It's really hard,
Some times I feel like going down,

But when it's good,
It's oh so good,
And when I hold you in myarms baby,
Some times I feel like going down,

You got to run,
You got tohide,
You got to keep your woman satisfied,
But it's so hard,
It's really hard,
Some times I feel like going down.

6. Give Me Some Truth

---

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
from uptight-short sighted - narrow minded hypocrytics,

All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth,

I've had enough of reading things
by neurotic - psychotic-pig headed politicians,

All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth,

No short haired - yellow bellied
son of tricky dicky,
Is gonna mother hubbard,
Soft soap me,
With just a pocketful of hope,
Money for dope,
Money for rope,

I'm sick to death of seeing things
from tight liped - condecending -
mommies little chauvanists,

All I want is the truth,
just gimme some truth,

I've had enough watching scenes of
schizophrenic - ego - centric - paranoic -
prima - donnas,

All I want is the truth,
Just gimme some truth.

7. Oh My Love

---

Oh my love for the first time in my life,
My eyes are wide open,
Oh my lover for the first time in my life,
My eyes can see,

I see the wind,
Oh I see the trees,
Everything is clear in my heart,
I see the clouds,
Oh I see the sky,
Everything is clear in our world,

Oh my love for the first time in my life,
My mind is wide open,
oh my lover for the first time in my life,
My mind can feel,

I feel the sorrow,
Oh I feel dreams,
Everything is clear in my heart,
Everything is clear in our world,
I feel the life,
Oh I feel love.

8. How Do You Sleep ?

---

So Sgt. Pepper took you by suprise,
You better thru that mother's eyes,
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead,
The one mistake you made was in your head,
How do you sleep ?
Ah how do you sleep at night ?

You live with straights who tell you you was king,
Jump when your mamma tell you any thing,
The only thing you did was yesterday,
And since your gone you're just another day,
How do you sleep ?
Ah how do you sleep at night ?

A pretty face may last a year or two,
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do,
The sound you make is muzak to my ears,
You must have learnt something all thos years,
How do you Sleep ?
Ah how do you sleep at night ?

9. How ?

---

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing ?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn ?
How can I go forward into something that I'm not sure of ?
Oh no,
Oh no,

How can I have feeling if I don't know if it's a feeling ?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel,
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied ?
Oh no,
Oh no,

How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving ?
How can I give love when I just don't know how to give ?
How can I give love when love is something I aint never had ?
Oh no,
Oh no,

You know life can be long,
And you have got to be so strong,
And the world is so tough sometimes I feel I have had enough,
Oh no,
Oh no,

How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing ?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn ?
How go forward into something we're not sure of ?
Oh no,
Oh no.

10. Oh Yoko !
