Is It Just My Imagination
(Parody set to the Temptations' "Just My Imagination")

Each day on the TV
I watch as the newspapers die,

I say to myself, "You're about to go blind"

To have a country like this
Should be a dream come true,

Out of all the nations in the world,
We have democracy

So is it just my imagination
Running away with me
Or is the freedom of our nation
Running away from me?

Soon I'll be married
And gainfully employed,

A dream home in the city,
With a mortgage I can afford,

I tell you I can have it all

This American dream
Is not too good to be true


So is it just my imagination, once again
Running away with me,
Or is the freedom of our nation
Running away from me?


Every night, in e-mails that I send,
"Dear Congressman please

Don't take my health insurance away from me
Or I will surely die"

Ooh, their speeches assure me
When they appear on TV,

I hear their concerned sympathy,
But in reality, they could care less about me


I once had it and I can't forget it,
Just my imagination
Running away from me,
Just the freedom of our nation
Running away from me

I once had it and I can't forget it

Was it just my imagination?
