They Should Have Shut Down the Streets - A.C. Newman[00:00:00]
They should have shut down all the streets[00:00:17]
Presidents and kings should have been there[00:00:22]
With not a single empty seat[00:00:26]
All the schools closed and the roads we drove down all lined[00:00:31]
Lined with people cap in hand and crying[00:00:40]
That went on for miles and miles and miles and miles[00:00:48]
They should have shut down all the streets[00:01:09]
All the papers plastered with tributes[00:01:14]
We should have asked for privacy[00:01:18]
Though we understand it that some want to share their pain[00:01:23]
We would ask to grieve this in our quiet way[00:01:31]
And they should have asked again and again and again[00:01:40]
They should have shut down all the streets[00:02:01]
All the bouquets piled on the doorstep[00:02:06]
And pages filled with crayon hearts that a second grade class had made[00:02:10]
In their school that day[00:02:18]
Because the teacher had to give in some small way[00:02:23]
And there weren't that many ways left for her to say it[00:02:32]
They should have shut down all the streets[00:02:53]
