Lyrics[]
Verse 1 (John Lennon):
Imagine there's no borders, no division of race
Just a world where we all can share the same space
No need for violence, no need for hate
We can all just sit together and break bread on a plate
Chorus (Beastie Boys):
We're toppin' tablez, bringin' people together
No more fightin', just good vibes forever
We're toppin' tablez, makin' music and love
No need for a push, just a gentle shove
Verse 2 (John Lennon):
Let's raise our glasses, and toast to the future
A world where we can all just be ourselves, no pressure
No more hunger, no more fear
We can all just sit together and share a cold beer
Chorus (Beastie Boys):
We're toppin' tablez, bringin' people together
No more fightin', just good vibes forever
We're toppin' tablez, makin' music and love
No need for a push, just a gentle shove
Bridge (John Lennon):
Can you imagine a world without pain?
Where everyone's equal and there's nothing to gain
No more wars, just peace in our hearts
Where love is the currency and we all play a part
Chorus (Beastie Boys):
We're toppin' tablez, bringin' people together
No more fightin', just good vibes forever
We're toppin' tablez, makin' music and love
No need for a push, just a gentle shove
Outro (John Lennon):
Let's raise our voices, and sing it loud
A world of peace, where we're all proud
No more division, no more hate
We can all just sit together, and toppin' tablez, mate
