My own attempt at imagining. With the help of the crew at Mother Mother.
lyrics
I am the split lip of your daughter’s.
I am the bruise on mother’s thigh.
I am the rent across this landscape. That ripped right through Pakistan.
That’s ripping through Afghanistan.
That’s going to rip that’s going to rip that’s going to rip through old Iran.
Chorus
Fill your fists full of stones occupy judges thrown imagine I killed John Lennon.
Fill your fists full of rocks lock my wrists in the stocks.
Imagine the stones are raining down from heaven, there is no heaven there is no heaven.
hea hea heaven, there aint no hea hea heaven, there aint no hea hea heaven there ain’t no Hea heaven.
I am the man who came in silence. I am the spread of his venereal disease.
I am the crowd that gathers quickly, so quickly.
Composed of judge, composed of jury. Composed of fear composed of fury.
Composing guilt, fabricate built.
Chorus
Fill your fists full of stones occupy judges thrown imagine I killed John Lennon.
Fill your fists full of rocks lock my wrists in the stocks.
Imagine the stones are raining down from heaven, there is no heaven there is no heaven.
hea hea heaven, there aint no hea hea hea heaven.
Bridge
It might be hard for you to resist. A picture black and white as this. Your childrens kindergarten teacher named Fred, sleeping with the local teacher named Ted. Imagine them up late at night. Fucking by the bedroom light. Reading boks by Nabokov. Dreaming bout your lolipop.
XTRO
Well there aint no them, there aint no us.
And there aint no me, there aint no you.
And you aint got no right, you aint got no wrong.
Cause there aint no black, there aint no white.
And there sure as hell aint no heaven, there aint no heaven.
I am the you, you are the we, we are the he, he is the she, she is the we
we are the banker baker profit maker. We are the teachers, we are the preachers, we are the baseball bleachers. We are steeple, we are the people, we are cold breath at night while two lovers fight. yeah hea yeah heah etc.
