Story Behind The Song
Recently, I pitched an idea to a friend who immediately shot it down saying "that's ridiculous." Normally, that wouldn't be a problem but today, I hear him telling somebody else the same thing as if it were his idea! "Can you imagine, what it must be like??"

Lyrics
Can You Imagine
Words and Music by Otto D?Agnolo

I was kidding, but you know some people, they have a way of thinking it was their idea, even though they know you?re the one that told them.
Can you imagine what it must be like to be so void of opinion, so in need of acceptance that you become a kind of personality assimilator, problematic impersonator?
There?s a place inside of you, a kind of cage just sitting there empty until one day you make an observation that?s completely personal of an event or moment that?s totally universal and then arrive at a statement that?s completely original.
That?s when there?s something in the cage, alive. Kind of like entering the cosmic list of creative forces. Before that moment, you?re not really here, you?re just watching, and listening.
Hear the sounds of wonder.
You?re not really here, you?re not really here, you?re not here, you?re not really, really, really here. You?re like a copy machine, a bad tape recorder, going around spewing bits and pieces of someone else?s poison propaganda. You say it as if it was your own thought, your thought. Can you imagine? I?m starting to sound like Liz Phair. Now there?s an original observer. But this guy, this guy?s an idiot; I mean he?s a moron. Can you imagine being a moron? Can you? Do you have to?
