IMAGINE
Imagine there's no filibuster
It's easy if you try
No cloture hell before us
Above us only pie.
Imagine all the people
Living in a Democracy
Imagine there's no filibuster
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to talk forever about
And no bloviating too
Imagine all the people
Living in a Democracy
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope right now you'll join us
And the Senate rules will be undone
Imagine there's no filibuster
No need for ripening or holds
A Senate where bills can pass
Imagine all the people
Living in a Democracy
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the Senate rules will be undone
IMAGINE
Millions of people not losing their unemployment and COBRA benefits
(it's easy if you try)
Regulation of private insurance premium increases
(no hell below us)
Further investments in clean energy research and technology
(above us only sky)
Programs to actually do something to alleviate problems associated
with the foreclosure crisis
(living for today)
IMAGINE
Wall Street reform with more teeth
(it isn't hard to do)
Immigration reform leading to millions of people no longer being demonized
(living life in peace)
IMAGINE
Million of new jobs provided by further stimulus
(I wonder if you can)
Taxation of those who can afford to pay
(no need for greed or hunger)
Equal rights for LGBT Americans.
(A brotherhood of man)
A rational policy on global warming
(sharing all the word)
A public option or medicare buyin for all
(and the world will live as one)
With apologies to John Lennon (although I think he might approve...)
