The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard

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.

Gotta be a Dylan fan for that one....

"highly illogical" [charles r. grean, fred hertz]
From far beyond the galaxies I've journeyed to this place
To study the behavior patterns of the human race
And I find them highly illogical
Girl meets boy they fall in love
She says he's everything she's dreamed of
But when they get married before he's aware
She changes his habits the way he combs his hair
She changes him to someone he's never been
And then complains he's not like other men
Now really I find this most illogical
Take the case of your automobiles
Greatest invention since man discovered wheels
Hydra-Matic overdrive four-on-the-floor
Pushbutton windows pushbutton doors
Double barreled carburetors rush you anyplace
But you never can find a parking space
Highly illogical!.
take the case of modern man
He works all his life gives it all he can
Saves all his money works overtime
Pinches every penny banks every dime
All he can think about is money but you know
That he can't take it with him where he's going to go
Now I find that fascinatingly illogical
Now is the time to journey home to tell of what I've learned
My people I believe have every right to be concerned
For in spite of computers and advanced psychology
Behavior patterns are still a mystery
I predict the future of this earthly human race
Is that having made a mess of Earth They'll move to outer space
Well there goes the neighborhood
Totally, completely, absolutely, irrevocably, highly illogical

Stephen Foster
