Textes et Paroles de Bobby Kennedy

"...and dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote about so many years ago...To tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world; let us dedicate ourselves to that and say a prayer for our country and for our people. Thank you very much."Sing you a song about a man long forgottenBorn in Massachusetts in the city of BostonHe grew up, silver spoon in his mouthCocky as hell and he knew what he was all aboutHis brother Jack came home a hero from the NavyHis Daddy said, "Bobby, I think that maybeIf you and me do a whole lot of workHe'll be the first Irish Catholic to make it to the White House."His Daddy, he bought the Democratic ticketAnd Jack walked all over a man called NixonSix months later they're sitting in the White House"Bobby, let's find out what this country is all aboutI want you to be my attorney generalClean up the unions, meet that man called Martin."Then he got mixed up in the Cuban CrisisLee Harvey Oswald blew his head off down in TexasDon't get mad, just get evenKeep on going though your heart is bleedingLove your friends, don't turn your back on your enemiesThis is the story of a man called Bobby KennedySo Bobby, he took a trip down SouthSaw his brothers and his sisters living hand to mouthDeep in the heart of the Mississippi DeltaWhile up in DC they're blowing billions on weaponsSaw the look of despair in the eyes of the childrenThe hopelessness of the men and the women"Something is rotten in these United StatesAnd if you ain't gonna fix it then get out of my way!"He said, "I gotta do this, gotta run for PresidentGotta put my millions where my heart is."Ran against Hubert and Gene McCarthyGive the people a voice though it's breaking up the partyThen someone whacked Martin in a state of paranoiaBobby won the primary in the state of CaliforniaBut some crazy mother with an illegal weaponBlew his brains out all over that hotelDon't get mad, just get evenKeep on going though your heart is bleedingLove your friends, don't turn your back on your enemiesThis is the story of a man called Bobby KennedySo many years since Bobby got offedNothing to replace him, no one doing the jobDon't feed the children, they're costing the moonWeasels in the White House sing a Democratic tuneThen I hear him say, "It don't make any sense."You can't balance budgets without a conscienceAnd no one will deliver you from your enemiesIf you go ahead and give up on all your dreams.Don't get mad, just get evenKeep on going though your heart is bleedingLove your friends, don't turn your back on your enemiesThis is the story of a man called Bobby KennedyDon't get mad, just get evenKeep on going though your heart is bleedingLove your friends, don't turn your back on your enemiesThis is the story of a man called Bobby KennedyThis is the story of a man called Bobby Kennedy
