imagine

Image no more doormen
No more nannies too
Taking care of ourselves
What are we to do
Imagine all the people
Self-sufficient and content
 
Imagine no more lattes
It isn't hard to do
No more entitlement
And no more privilege too
Imagine all the people
Living life content
 
You may say I'm an idealist
but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And life will be so much fun
 
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A botherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the wealth
And living in good health

Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government
