The Day John Kennedy Died - Lou Reed[00:00:00]
Written by:Lou Reed[00:00:01]
I dreamed I was the president of these United States[00:00:08]
I dreamed I replaced ignorance stupidity and hate[00:00:17]
I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect law undenied[00:00:27]
Most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died[00:00:36]
I dreamed that I could do the job that others hadn't done[00:00:46]
I dreamed that I was uncorrupt and fair to everyone[00:00:55]
I dreamed I wasn't gross or base a criminal on the take[00:01:05]
And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died[00:01:15]
Oh the day John Kennedy died[00:01:24]
Oh the day John Kennedy died[00:01:32]
I remember where I was that day I was upstate in a bar[00:01:40]
The team from the university was playing football on TV[00:01:49]
Then the screen went dead and the announcer said[00:01:58]
There's been a tragedy[00:02:02]
There's are unconfirmed reports the president's been shot[00:02:08]
And he may be dead or dying[00:02:11]
Talking stopped someone shouted what[00:02:17]
I ran out to the street[00:02:21]
People were gathered everywhere saying[00:02:26]
Did you hear what they said on TV[00:02:29]
And then a guy in a Porsche with his radio hit his horn[00:02:34]
And told us the news[00:02:38]
He said[00:02:44]
The president's dead he was shot twice in the head[00:02:44]
In Dallas and they don't know by whom[00:02:47]
I dreamed I was the president of these United States[00:02:55]
I dreamed I was young and smart and it was not a waste[00:03:03]
I dreamed that there was a point to life and to the human race[00:03:11]
I dreamed that I could somehow comprehend that someone[00:03:21]
Shot him in the face[00:03:24]
Oh the day John Kennedy died[00:03:30]
Oh the day John Kennedy died[00:03:38]
Oh the day John Kennedy died[00:03:45]
Oh the day John Kennedy died[00:03:53]
