The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard

This may be a little too deeply personal for some, so reader discretion is advised. Don't know the reason, stayed here all season. Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie. How it got here I haven't a clue.
Blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop top, cut my heel had to cruise on back home. But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render that frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Rainy Day Women #12 and 35

Maybe his worst song but can't knock the philosophy.

Let us pause in life's pleasures
And count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor.

Guess that one without Google 
"I wonder If you can."

Also +2 for Imagine.

What is it about grumpy old cynical men? Innkeepers with all the answers. Have no room in their closed minds for Mary or anything that challenges their insular shallow minds. And the irony is the OP's thread ostensibly relates to philosophy. 
Lennon's "Imagine" strikes a chord for hope and a better world. Christianity began as a communal sect. It's growth and success were limited by such a concept so it changed to a more realistic organization. Gained much by doing so but an argument could be made it also lost something important. My interpretation of Lennon's lyrics is they explore the true radicalism of Christ's message.
