The Who - Imagine A Man lyrics

Imagine a man Not a child of any revolt Imagine a man But a plain man tied up in life Imagine the sand Imagine a man Running out as he struts Not a child of any revolt Parading and fading, ignoring his wife But a plain man tied up in life Imagine a road Imagine the sand So long looking backwards Running out as he struts You can't see where it really began Parading and fading, ignoring his wife Imagine a load Imagine a road So large and so smooth So long looking backwards That against it a man is an ant You can't see where it really began Then you will see the end Imagine a load You will see the end So large and so smooth That against it a man is an ant Imagine events That occur everyday Then you will see the end Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit You will see the end Imagine a fence Imagine events Around you as high as prevention That occur everyday Casting shadows, you can't see your feet Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit Imagine a girl Imagine a fence You long for and have Around you as high as prevention And the body of chalky perfection and truth Casting shadows, you can't see your feet Imagine a past Imagine a girl Where you wish you had lived With long, flowing hair Full of heroes and villians and fools And the body of chalky perfection and truth And you will see the end Imagine a past You will see the end Where you wish you had lived And you will see the end Full of heroes and villians and fools You will see the end Oh yeah And you will see the end You will see the end Imagine a man And you will see the end Not a child of any revolt You will see the end But a man of today feeling new Oh yeah Imagine a soul Imagine a man So old it it is broken Not a child of any revolt And you will know your invention is you But a man of today feeling new And you will see the end Imagine a soul You will see the end So old it it is broken You will see the end And you know your invention is you You will see the end Oh yeah And you will see the end You will see the end You will see the end You will see the end Oh yeah
