Well, as I thought about it while it was being sung, it occurred to me that if its conditions were true, then there probably wouldn't be all sorts of troubles that exist in the world today (that is, the world as it actually is); however, this is all on the same intellectual level as "Imagine if fire weren't hot, then we wouldn't get burned!" and "Imagine if there were no such thing as metabolism we wouldn't ever get fat" and "If we could drink salt water and feed on rocks, there wouldn't be any world hunger any more (I guess except hunger for world rocks)." Even when this song came out when I was in high school I thought it was fatuous.

You made me spew coffee. LOL
