Listening to this song the other day, it occurred to me that Lennon would probably have approved of this message board and the way it brings together those of different nationalities, faiths and beliefs. So I invite you to sing along with me.

_Imagine there’s no heaven  
It’s easy if you try…_

_No hell below us  
Above us only sky…_

He was a communist (Marxist, not Leninist), too:

_Imagine no possessions,  
and no religions too_

_Imagine all the people  
Living for today…_

_Imagine there’s no countries  
It isn’t hard to do_

Imagine I’m padding my post count  
To get ahead of you…

alternate verse, on bootleg copy

_Imagine there’s no assholes  
It’s really tough to do.  
The mods have banned a couple,  
and Jack Dean Tyler, too._
