It’s Not Imagination Lyrics by Gentle Giant

Civilian

1980

Looked in the papers, looked in the magazines
Wanted to find out, to know
Was there an answer, was there really something
Hidden beneath them below
Searched in the light and underneath the pictures
Something was written there
And through the smiles and under all the color
A message on everything there
But it's not imagination
It's not imagination
It's not imagination
It's not me, look and see for yourself
Didn't believe it, although I saw myself
Wanted to look there again
But it was real and everybody saw it
When it was shown, pointed out to them
S.e.xisting, s.e.x.exciting
Written where it doesn't show
What do we see, the product or the message
So hard to tell I don't know
But it's not imagination
It's not imagination
It's not imagination
It's not me, can't you see for yourself
(Solo)
But it's not imagination
It's not imagination
It's not imagination
It's not me, can't you see for yourself
That's... All... There... Is....
