VIDEO: Cee Lo Green changes lyrics to John Lennon’s Imagine

During his New Year’s Eve performance of John Lennon’s “Imagine” in Times Square, Cee Le Green took the liberty of changing one of the key lines in the song.

Instead of singing the original lyrics, “Nothing to kill or die for / And no religion too,” Green switched it up as “Nothing to kill or die for / And all religion’s true.”

Green’s version dramatically changes the intent of the legendary song, and music fans aren’t happy about it.

”Yo I meant no disrespect by changing the lyric guys!” Green tweeted. “I was trying to say a world were [sic] u could believe what u wanted that’s all.”

Cee Lo responded directly to other angry Lennon fans on Twitter, but has since deleted all of the tweets.
