Lyrics
Imagine living on hope
Contemplate a life fueled by hope.
Imagine praying for a good day
Envision praying for a positive day.
Do you see how the other side live?
Consider the lifestyle of the privileged.
Do you think it's okay?
Question the morality of such a lifestyle.
Imagine living on hope
Contemplate a life fueled by hope (repeated).
Imagine praying for a good day
Envision praying for a positive day (repeated).
Do you see how the other side live?
Consider the lifestyle of the privileged (repeated).
Do you think it's okay?
Question the morality of such a lifestyle (repeated).
There's no future for you and I
Assert that there is no promising future for "you and I."
If the ones before us sit and watch the world go by
If previous generations passively observe the world, the future is bleak.
There's no future for you and I
Reiteration of the lack of a positive future.
If the ones before us sit and watch the big old world go by!
If past generations continue to be passive spectators, the world's issues persist.
You're tired, you work too hard
Express fatigue from excessive work.
Don't need no credit card
Reject the need for materialistic validation.
Get taxed 40 percent
Highlight the burden of a 40% tax rate.
But that don't even make a dent
Indicate that the tax burden is inconsequential.
How do you sleep at night?
Raise a question about the conscience of those living comfortably.
Silk bedsheets tucked in tight
Describe a luxurious and secure sleep environment.
Lay back, ignore the world
Encourage apathy towards the suffering of others.
The crying, begging boys and girls
Ignore the pleas of distressed boys and girls.
There's no future for you and I
Reiterate the absence of a positive future for "you and I."
If the ones before us sit and watch the world go by
If prior generations remain passive, the world continues to deteriorate.
There's no future for you and I
Reiteration of the lack of a promising future.
If the ones before us sit and watch the big old world go by!
If past generations persist in passivity, global issues endure.
Imagine living on hope!
Contemplate a life fueled by hope (repeated).
Imagine praying for a good day!
Envision praying for a positive day (repeated).
Do you see how the other side live?
Consider the lifestyle of the privileged (repeated).
Do you think it's okay?
Question the morality of such a lifestyle (repeated).
