"The Day John Kennedy Died"
"Animal Serenade" (2004)
[Verse]
CI dreamed I was the president of thFese UGnited StateCs
CI dreamed I replaced ignorance, stuFpiditGy and hatCe
CI dreamed the perfect union and a pFerfecGt law, undCenied
CAnd most of all I dreamed I forgot the Fday JGohn Kennedy diCed
[Verse]
CI dreamed that I could do the job that oFthersG hadn't donCe
CI dreamed that I was uncorrupt and Ffair Gto everyonCe
CI dreamed I wasn't gross or base, aF crimGinal on the tCake
CAnd most of all I dreamed I forgot Fthe dGay John Kennedy died
[Chorus]
FOh, the daGy John Kennedy dCied
FOh, the daGy John Kennedy dCied
[Verse]
CI remember where I was that day, I Fwas uGpstate in a bar
CThe team from the university was plFayingG football on tv
CThen the screen went dead and the announcer said,
"There's bFeen aG tragedy..C."
C"The President's been shot...
C"There are now unconfirmed reports...
"That he maFy be Gdead or dyCing."
[Verse]
CTalking stopped, someone shouted, "What!?"
I raFn ouGt to the street
CPeople were gathered everywhere saying,
"Did you heFar what they Gsaid on TV?C"
CAnd then a guy in a Porsche with his radio on
Hit his hoFrn and toGld us the neCws
CHe said, "The president's dead...
CShot twice in the head...
In DalFlas and they Gdon't know by whCom."
[Verse]
CI dreamed I was the president of thFese UGnited States
CI dreamed I was young and smart and iFt wasG not a waste
CI dreamed that there was a point to life andF to tGhe human race
CI dreamed that I could somehow comprehend that someone
ShFot himG in the faCce
[Chorus]
FOh, the daGy John Kennedy dCied
FOh, the daGy John Kennedy dCied
