Great song. It’s Steely Dan.

Lyrics

Only a Fool Would Say That
Steely Dan
Our world become one
Of salads and sun
Only a fool would say that
A boy with a plan
A natural man
Wearing a white stetson hat

Unhand that gun begone
There’s no one to fire upon
If he’s holding it high
He’s telling a lie

I heard it was you
Talkin’ ‘bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn’t be
And only a fool would say that

The man in the street
Draggin’ his feet
Don’t wanna hear the bad news
Imagine your face
There is his place
Standing inside his brown shoes

You do his nine to five
Drag yourself home half alive
And there on the screen
A man with a dream

I heard it was you
Talkin’ ‘bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn’t be
And only a fool would say that

Anybody on the street
Has murder in his eyes
You feel no pain
And you’re younger
Then you realize
Only a fool would say that
Only a foooo oooooo ooooo oooool

I heard it was you
Talkin’ ‘bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn’t be
And a fool would say that
And a fool would say that
And a fool would say that

Well, I think my parody need work:
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s more easy if you’re high;
No hell below us,
Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people,
Livin’ for that lie,
A-haa.

Imagine there’s no countries,
So there’s more drugs to do.
Nothing to live or die for,
And no religion, too.

Imagine all the people,
living for my high.

You may say I’m a dreamer,
But I’m not the only one,
I hope someday you’ll join us,
So the devil will have won.

Imagine no possessions,
I’ll wonder if you can.
But buy my music,
Oh brotherhood of man!

Imagine all the people
Paying for my $ongs

You may say I’m a dreamer,
But I’m not the only one.
I hope someday you’ll join us,
So in Hell we're done.
