LYRICS
\\n
\\nIf I did all the things that you tell me
\\nAnd you did all things that I tell you
\\nThere\'s nothing that we couldn\'t do
\\n
\\nIf I listened to you
\\nAnd you listened to me
\\nImagine how happy we\'d be
\\n
\\nCause you tell me truths
\\nI don\'t like to hear
\\nTruth is painful
\\nYou know you can lie sometimes
\\n
\\nThen I\'d listen more
\\nTo the wise words you\'ve said like
\\nLike, like... errrr
\\n
\\nIf I did all the things that you tell me
\\nAnd you did all things that I tell you
\\nThere\'s nothing that we couldn\'t do
\\n
\\nIf I listened to you
\\nAnd you listened to me
\\nImagine how happy we\'d be
\\n
\\nWe\'d be healthier, happier, fitter and wiser
\\nRicher and thinner and younger and more organised
\\nThe world would be a better place
\\nWithout war
\\n
\\nIt\'s a simple thing but hard to do
\\nWith ego involved it\'s  a blinkered view
\\nBut if you saw yourself from outside, you\'d say
\\n"Why didn\'t you tell me!?"
\\n
\\nThe world\'s a crazy mixed-up place
\\nBecause of the stupid human race
\\nOur thoughts pollute the very
\\nAir we breathe
\\n
\\nIf we\'re going to be the ones to make the change
\\nIt\'s our thoughts we need to contain
\\nAnd switch our brains from broadcast
\\nTo receive
\\n
\\nAnd if I lived for you
\\nAnd you lived for me
\\nImagine how happy we\'d be
\\n
\\nIf I did all the things that you tell me
\\nAnd you did all things that I tell you
\\nThere\'s nothing that we couldn\'t do
\\n
\\nIf I listened to you
\\nAnd you listened to me
\\nImagine how happy we\'d be
\\n
\\nIf you listened to me
\\nI listened to you
\\nWe listened ro each other
\\nListening to you
\\n
\\nDid you hear what I\'ve been saying?
\\nHas any of this registered?
\\nYou\'re looking at your telephone
\\nI don\'t know what to say
\\nI\'ve done all I can
