Imagine a Man

Imagine a man, not a child of any revolt

But a plain man tied up in life

Imagine the sand running out as he struts

Parading and fading, ignoring his wife

Imagine a road, so long looking backwards

You can't see where it really began

Imagine a load, so large and so smooth

That against it a man is an ant

And you will see the end

You will see the end

Imagine events that occur everyday

Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit

Imagine a fence around you as high as prevention

Casting shadows, you can't see your feet

Imagine a girl, you long for and have

And the body of chalky perfection and truth

Imagine a past, that you wish you had lived

Full of heroes and villains and fools

And you will see the end

You will see the end

And you will see the end

You will see the end, oh yeah

Imagine a man, not a child of any revolt

But a man of today feeling new

Imagine a soul so old, it is broken

And you will know your invention is you

And you will see the end

You will see the end

You will see the end

You will see the end, oh yeah
