"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
	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 born
	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
	Oh, the day John Kennedy died
	Oh, the day John Kennedy died
	Oh, the day John Kennedy died
