[Chorus]
Imagine how I felt
Imagine how I felt

[Verse 1]
Where did my illusions go?
I found out Michael Jackson ain't no longer a Negro
I found he does his moonwalk with mechanical help
Goebbels used a big lie, Jackson used a belt

[Verse 2]
Rock music won't ever be the same
I found out Johnny isn't Diesel's real name
I found half of hip-hop is just senseless rhyming
New Kids On The Block weren't really miming

[Chorus]
Imagine how I felt
When I heard of Michael Jackson's conveyor belt
Imagine how I felt
When I heard of Michael Jackson's conveyor belt

[Verse 3]
There's a question I like to pose
How come God is acting like he's Axl Rose?
How come Public Enemy are from the middle class?
How can Sinead O'Connor shave her head when it's up her ass?
[Verse 4]
Oh, Michael, I believed
The greatest moonwalk I'd ever seen
And then I read it in a magazine
It's done with machines

[Bridge]
I can take his plastic surgery
I can take his manufactured lunacy
But his nose ain't the only thing that's not for real
My hero moonwalks on cogs and wheels!
On cogs, cogs, cogs and wheels!

[Chorus]
Imagine how I felt (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Imagine how I felt (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Imagine how I felt (ooh, ooh, ooh)
When I heard of Michael Jackson's conveyer belt
Imagine how I felt (ooh, ooh, ooh)
When I heard of Michael Jackson's conveyer belt
