“Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion, too,
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…”

John Lennon

Lyrics, Imagine (1971 album)

Lyrics

“I think our society is run by insane people for insane objectives... I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends, you know... I’d be very pleased to know what they think they’re doing. I think they’re all insane. But I am liable to be put away as insane for expressing that, you know. That’s what is insane about it.”

“Love is the answer and you know that for sure.
Love is a flower, you got to let it — you got to let it grow.”

John Lennon

"Mind Games"
Lyrics, Mind Games (1973)
Original: We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil.
Doing the mind guerrilla,
Some call it magic — the search for the grail.
Love is the answer and you know that for sure.
Love is a flower, you got to let it — you got to let it grow.

“So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun...
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel.”

John Lennon

Lyrics, Mind Games (1973)

Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil.
