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
