Imagine Video (MV)

Screaming to the youth them, talking to my peers
Is it 'cos of your fears, you choose to wander ruthless?
I wonder who's stressed really?
You think you got it bad, 'cos you don't know you're, dad? Like evolution?
Think about the ones fasting outside of Ramadan
Babies starving, dying out in the summer sun; rations please!
They're crying out "Where has my mama gone?"
Forget about the funds, they're just trying to find some food for the
Sons
Imagine you venture out from the west, you and all wealth
They're squeezing hard but can't produce a single drop of milk
From their malnourished newborn breast
But still offer you food like "Please, have some of what's left, you're our guest"
That is the meaninig of stress!
You flare up your chest still you lay the bullet proof vest
On your bed when you rest, like it won't bring you closer to your end
The causing of rest through the cousin of death

Forget my life man, look at your lifespan
Imagine, yeah man, imagine
Forget my life man, look at your lifespan
Imagine, yeah man, imagine

You really want a war? The violent kind, not always the silent type Proud of being least adored
Fists ain't worth shit, so why waste your time in a fight
When mine can recite what's on your mind
Hand around the pistol wish you'd feel like a bad man
Peer pressure pushing you to shoot 'em up, bang bang
Damn it's sad, so old, where's the control?
Think you prove by how many guns you hold?
Imagine, raised or reduced, out there with battle scars
In the wrong hands a trifling man could damage ya
Here you're safe in the 'burbs, the bums you are wise
There it's rape for the girls, and guns for the guys
It's AK's for you all by the age 9
Let me know if the thought of war allures your eyes
Bang bang against the world, fire to your heart's desire
Or you can see the riches of your life before you retire

Carry a knife man? You must want life man
Imagine, yeah man, imagine
Carry a knife man? You must want life man
Imagine, yeah man, imagine

Walking the streets, night skyline in my eye
Riots stifling my sight, the dawn of the beast
Before my time, should I seek a lawless retreat?
Surely I should ignore a call from defeat
Imagine, making new friends away from home
Split second later many hands, many phones
Crawling by your soles underneath tables protecting domes
Unready for the unknown
A room full of clones, but could you ever feel more alone
(Say your prayers) you ponder, is he listening?
Now's the time, a thousand lives, about precise
You doubt you'd survive
The 8.8 earthquake nerve shake is over, no rooms
Sleep on the floor thinking that's a shame
You're minuscule, little food, you little fools, don't approve
Take life for granted don't you, how pitiful
I'm alive, but had I been in Sendai as I planned
News would be showing my hand, reaching for life fam
Many storeys of rubble from rumbles
Small business for a tsunami to trouble gonna need more than a shovel
UK, gets a little snow, complains a lot
Philippines, keep their heads high, when the pain has stopped
Will their neighbours clock they've got it to easy? Maybe not
So you're destined to the same hated fate, that haste has brought

Struggle through strife damn, well that's just life man
Imagine, yeah man, imagine
Struggle through strife damn, well that's just life man
Imagine, yeah man, imagine
