Imagine
“Imagine’s” signature lyrics have been defined as 22 lines containing beautiful, plain-spoken trust in the ability of the world unified in the purpose of healing and altering itself. In reality, the blissful ideals underlying the song, which former President Jimmy Carter famously claimed was used nearly as frequently as national hymns, have some major Communist undertones to them. In the past, Lennon has peratined to the hit as essentially a Communist manifesto. He also stated on the record that the song’s success is due to the fact that it is sugarcoated: “Because it’s sugarcoated it’s accepted.” He added that it was clear to him what needs to be done: communicate his idea effectively with some sugarcoating.
