Imagine A Man Letra - The Who

Imagine a man

Not a child of any revolt

But a plain man tied up in life

Imagine the sand

Running out as he struts

Parading and fading, ignoring his wife

Imagine a road

So long looking backwards

You can't see where it really began

Imagine a load

So large and so smooth

That against it a man is an ant

Then you will see the end

You will see the end

Imagine events

That occur everyday

Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit

Imagine a fence

Around you as high as Prudential

Casting shadows, you can't see your feet

Imagine a girl

With long flowing hair

And the body of chalky perfection and truth

Imagine a past

That you wish you had lived

Full of heroes and villains and fools

And you will see the end

You will see the end

And you will see the end

You will see the end

Oh yeah

Imagine a man

Not a child of any revolt

But a man of today feeling new

Imagine a soul

So old it is broken

And you know your invention is you

And you will see the end

You will see the end

You will see the end

You will see the end

Oh yeah
