Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

The first draft of my novella Organicide ended with the main character finding an old record player. He turns it on and this song comes on. He breaks down because his family, and most of humanity had been systematically killed off by Mechanicals, or Humans who basically shed their bodies in favor of robotic ones. He's survived to find the world outside of the cities to be just one big toxic desert.
