LYRICS



If I did all the things that you tell me

And you did all things that I tell you

There's nothing that we couldn't do



If I listened to you

And you listened to me

Imagine how happy we'd be



Cause you tell me truths

I don't like to hear

Truth is painful

You know you can lie sometimes



Then I'd listen more

To the wise words you've said like

Like, like... errrr



If I did all the things that you tell me

And you did all things that I tell you

There's nothing that we couldn't do



If I listened to you

And you listened to me

Imagine how happy we'd be



We'd be healthier, happier, fitter and wiser

Richer and thinner and younger and more organised

The world would be a better place

Without war



It's a simple thing but hard to do

With ego involved it's  a blinkered view

But if you saw yourself from outside, you'd say

"Why didn't you tell me!?"



The world's a crazy mixed-up place

Because of the stupid human race

Our thoughts pollute the very

Air we breathe



If we're going to be the ones to make the change

It's our thoughts we need to contain

And switch our brains from broadcast

To receive



And if I lived for you

And you lived for me

Imagine how happy we'd be



If I did all the things that you tell me

And you did all things that I tell you

There's nothing that we couldn't do



If I listened to you

And you listened to me

Imagine how happy we'd be



If you listened to me

I listened to you

We listened ro each other

Listening to you



Did you hear what I've been saying?

Has any of this registered?

You're looking at your telephone

I don't know what to say

I've done all I can
