The Day John Kennedy Died

I dreamed I was the president of these United States

I dreamed I replaced ignorance, stupidity and hate

I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect law

Undenied

And most of all I dreamed I forgot

The day John Kennedy died

I dreamed that I could do the job

That others hadn't done

I dreamed that I was uncorrupt

And fair to everyone

I dreamed I wasn't gross or base

A criminal on the take

And most of all I dreamed I forgot

The day John Kennedy died

Oh the day John Kennedy died...

I remember where I was that day

I was upstate in a bar

The team from the university

Was playing football on TV

Then the screen want dead

And the announcer said:

'There's been a tragedy

There's are unconfirmed reports

The president's been shot

And he may be dead or dying'

Talking stopped, someone shouted: ' What?!'

I ran out to the street

People were gathered everywhere saying:

'Did you hear what they said on TV?'

And then a guy in a Porsche with his radio

Hit his horn and told us the news

He said:

'The president's dead

He was shot twice in the head

In Dallas, and they don't know by whom'

I dreamed I was the president

Of these United States

I dreamed I was young and smart

And it was not a waste

I dreamed that there was a point to life

And to the human race

I dreamed that I could somehow comprehend

That someone shot him in the face

Oh the day John Kennedy died
