The Who - Imagine A Man lyrics

IMAGINE A MAN

The Who

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
