lou reed - the day john kennedy died lyrics

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
