"it's getting close to christmas
christ! what a mess this world is in
where will it end, where will i begin

the gifts for ads are everywhere
still the west will not share the wealth
christ! what a mess this world is in

our climates disrupted, people die
just so we can drive smoothly by
the lights go on, hip hip hooray
goodwill to all on christmas day
christ what a mess this world is in

where will it end, where will i begin?
it will only end when i begin
it will only end when you begin
it will only end when we begin
the change, the change

......Imagine there's no countries
it isn't hard to do
no flags to kill or die for........

......Imagine there's no billionaires,
it isn't hard to do
no poverty or pollution...

it's getting close to christmas
and the best give we could give
would be the committment
so that all could live
live in dignity! living indignity!

it's already started because I've begun
it's already started because you've begun
it's already started because we've begun
the change, the change"

We, the ordinary people, the decent, kind, intelligent, warm hearted people of the so-called 'civilised world' must dig deep, dig into determination, set aside hope, because hope contains the seeds of failure...
