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
