This track is about the insanity that comes with religious fanaticism and the fear it invokes. The message of this song is that you should never allow fear to rule your life!
lyrics
First couplet:
Imagine a world with no religion,
Imagine no suicide bombers,
no nine eleven, no seven seven,
no Crusades, no witch-hunts,
no Gunpowder Plot,
no Indian partition,
no Israeli/Palestinian wars,
no Serb/Croat/Muslim massacres,
no persecution of Jews as 'Christ-killers',
no Northern Ireland 'troubles',
no 'honour killings’.
Imagine no Taliban or ISIS to blow up ancient statues,
no public beheadings of blasphemers,
no seven one two thousand fifteen,
no Paris massacre,
no Brussels terrorist attack,
no religion.
Imagine a world with no religion.
That would be a world without fear.
Imagine a world without religion.
That would be a world without fear.
Chorus:
Don’t let fear rule your life, (2x)
it’s the worst thing you can do,
don’t let it rule.
Don't let fear rule your life.
Second couplet:
Don't let fear rule your life,
it’s the worst thing you can do,
don’t let it rule.
Speak out without fear,
write what you want without fear,
spray your graffiti without fear,
draw your cartoons without fear,
make music without fear,
dance without fear,
go downtown,
go out for dinner,
have a drink with friends without fear,
go to the pictures without fear,
take the subway,
fly in an airplane without fear.
