Lyrics for The Day John Kennedy Died by LOU REED:
| | | Artist: | LOU REED |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Day John Kennedy Died | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 92 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 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 ... | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
