Imagine there's no more research labs
It's easy if you try
No layoffs before us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the C suites
Living only for quarterly profits... Aha-ah...
Imagine there's no more research to do
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to cull or downsize for yearly
And no labs, too
Imagine all the managers
Living life in peace... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And 3M will be number one
Imagine no more innovation
I wonder if you can
No need for inventions or patents
Only a brotherhood of bosses
Imagine all those people
Sharing all the profits... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And Mother Mining will be number one
