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 that 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
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 went dead, and the announcer said that there's been a tragedy
The president's been shot, there are unconfirmed reports
That 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?"
Then a guy in a Porsche with his radio on, hit his horn, and he told us the news
He said, "The president's dead, shot twice in the head
In Dallas, and they don't know by whom"
I dreamed that I was the president of these United States
I dreamed that 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
Oh, the day John Kennedy died
Oh, the day John Kennedy died
Oh, the day John Kennedy died
I dreamed I replaced ignorance, stupidity, and hate
I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect law, undenied
And most of all, I dreamed that 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
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 went dead, and the announcer said that there's been a tragedy
The president's been shot, there are unconfirmed reports
That 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?"
Then a guy in a Porsche with his radio on, hit his horn, and he told us the news
He said, "The president's dead, shot twice in the head
In Dallas, and they don't know by whom"
I dreamed that I was the president of these United States
I dreamed that 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
Oh, the day John Kennedy died
Oh, the day John Kennedy died
Oh, the day John Kennedy died
