While listening I hear "Imagine your face There in his place Standing inside his brown shoes"

But the lyrics posted read "There is his place". Anybody else notice? Maybe only a fool would bring it up.

To me this song is about point of view and one man's utopia is another man's hell and that everything has a price or consequence, no such thing as " a world where all is free" and how foolish and potentially dangerous it is to think otherwise. Anybody who says they have found the answer is either selling something or fooling themselves.

Of course, what do I know?

My Opinion
