Each day on the TV I watch as the newspapers die I say to myself "You're about to go blind" To have a country like this Should be a dream come true Out of all the nations in the world We have democracy 　 So is it just my imagination Running away with me Or is the freedom of our nation Running away from me? 　 Soon I'll be married But I won't be employed I'll dream about a home in the city But there's none I can afford I ask you Am I losing it all? This American dream Is it too good to be true? 　 So is it just my imagination, once again Running away with me Or is the freedom of our nation Running away from me? 　 Every night, in e-mails that I send, "Dear Congressman please Don't take my voice away from me Or I will surely die" Ooh, their speeches assure me When they appear on TV, I hear their concerned sympathy, But in reality, they could care less about me 　 And is it just my imagination, once again Running away with me, Or is the freedom of our nation Running away from me? I once had it and I can't forget it, Just my imagination Running away from me Just the freedom of our nation Running away from me I once had it and I can't forget it Was it just my imagination?

Was It Just My Imagination? (Lyrics to the Tune of the Temptations' "Just My Imagination")
Each day on the TV I watch as the newspapers die I say to myself "You're about to go blind" To have a country like this Should be a dream come true Out of all the nations in the world We have democracy 　 So is it just my imagination Running away with me Or is the freedom of our nation Running away from me? 　 Soon I'll be married But I won't be employed I'll dream about a home in the city But there's none I can afford I ask you Am I losing it all? This American dream Is it too good to be true? 　 So is it just my imagination, once again Running away with me Or is the freedom of our nation Running away from me? 　 Every night, in e-mails that I send, "Dear Congressman please Don't take my voice away from me Or I will surely die" Ooh, their speeches assure me When they appear on TV, I hear their concerned sympathy, But in reality, they could care less about me 　 And is it just my imagination, once again Running away with me, Or is the freedom of our nation Running away from me? I once had it and I can't forget it, Just my imagination Running away from me Just the freedom of our nation Running away from me I once had it and I can't forget it Was it just my imagination?
