An IParody of John Lennon's Imagine song, by Alexandre Oliva, without a tribute to Yoko Ono Lennon, Sean Ono Lennon, Julian Lennon and EMI Blackwood Music, Inc.

Imagine there's no sharing
It's easy if you try
DRM all 'round us
All bow to copyright
Imagine all these people
Bracing for that day

Imagine some bad patents
It isn't hard to do
Reasons to sue or die for
And no e-freedom too
Imagine all these people
Trying rest in peace

 You may say I'm a ripper
 But I'm not the only one
 I hope some day you'll join us
 And the world'll be unlike this one
 
 Imagine less IPower
 I wonder if you can
 No point in greedy EULAs
 A brotherhood of man
 Imagine all these people
 Sharing all the world

 You may say I P2Peer
 But I'm not the only one
 I hope some day you'll join us
 And the world will live as one
