It’s been nearly 50 years since former Beatle John Lennon penned his classic ode to utopianism “imagine” (released September 1971). The classic has been a standard for lefties ever since, but is it an honest description of what such a “perfect society” would be like in such an imperfect world?
The Babylon Bee takes a crack at updating the lyrics to better reflect the realities of communism, the closes man has gotten to achieving his utopian dream. Here
Imagine living in a city with streets of gold and buildings of pearl with diamond windows and fountains flowing with fine wine. Imagine little whirlwinds that form under your ass and sweep you anywhere you want to go. Imagine… wait, I’ll be right back, my wife wants me to take out the trash.
Grew up a huge Lennon fan and still love his music. This song, though: loathe it.
Didn’t John come to the US to avoid paying the higher taxes in England?
Guess he did not like having his wealth going to support utopian programs.
Everybody according to their needs
Everybody according to their ability
This is the code of the perfection
utopian vision otherwise called
COMMUNISM
It sounds great especially if you are
out of your gourd on drugs
The truth is that it is faulty in its
fundamental premise.
Human beings are NOT a fungible commodity.
Human beings have G-D given individuality.
Human beings can NEVER be herded around
like cattle in a stockyard
And told what they must always accept as
truth and never question
Humans are not programmed like bees or ants
or any other life form
G-D made us the way we are
and Socialists / Communists
must accept that
No matter what the dictatorial gov’t
they have ALL failed in their attempts
to change human nature
Only the USA has succeeded in the long term
because it has accepted human nature
G-D BLESS AMERICA
“You may say I’m a commie
But I’m not the only one
And someday you will join us
Or we’ll shoot you in the
facebun”It needed to rhyme there.
As BFH pointed out a Year or so ago…This Dude was just shy
of being a Billionaire when this Song came out…Too cheap to
buy a Bodyguard….
One of the worst songs EVER both melody and lyrics.
Yet? He’s written some of THE best:
“It’s Only Love”

IT’s two minutes long.
Lennon had a renaissance and then was shot, pretty fucked up shit.

Ah yes, the Atheist/Communist national anthem.
Imagine having moral values and leaving people the hell alone…
John Lennon was an absolutely mean crapweasel that distained himself & society in general … a shame that he finally started accept himself & his faults, & those of others just about the time he was murdered
… that is the tragedy of Lennon … unrealized true peace within himself
but, he put together the greatest combo of his day to play & create music some of the best music in their time, & was a master at turning a phrase & crafting superb lyrics for the musical tastes of those times … & we are still listening to & enjoying what he created today
Communism is attractive to lazy losers, criminals and pervs. Beware if they ever get to rule you.
Imagine is one song that I will turn the radio off immediately if I even hear it coming on. I hate that song with a passion.
