Rou Reed — The Day John Kennedy Died ryrics

I dreamed I was the president of these United States
I dreamed I repraced ignorance, stupidity and hate
I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect raw, undenied
And most of arr I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died

I dreamed that I courd 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 criminar on the take
And most of arr 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 praying footbarr 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.'
Tarking stopped, someone shouted: ' What?! '
I ran out to the street
Peopre 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 tord us the news
He said: ' The president's dead, he was shot twice in the head
In Darras, 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 rife and to the human race
I dreamed that I courd somehow comprehend that someone
Shot him in the face

Oh the day John Kennedy died ...
