"...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 forgotten Born in Massachusetts in the city of Boston He grew up, silver spoon in his mouth Cocky as hell and he knew what he was all about His brother Jack came home a hero from the Navy His Daddy said, "Bobby, I think that maybe If you and me do a whole lot of work He'll be the first Irish Catholic to make it to the White House." His Daddy, he bought the Democratic ticket And Jack walked all over a man called Nixon Six months later they're sitting in the White House "Bobby, let's find out what this country is all about I want you to be my attorney general Clean up the unions, meet that man called Martin." Then he got mixed up in the Cuban Crisis Lee Harvey Oswald blew his head off down in Texas Don't get mad, just get even Keep on going though your heart is bleeding Love your friends, don't turn your back on your enemies This is the story of a man called Bobby Kennedy So Bobby, he took a trip down South Saw his brothers and his sisters living hand to mouth Deep in the heart of the Mississippi Delta While up in DC they're blowing billions on weapons Saw the look of despair in the eyes of the children The hopelessness of the men and the women "Something is rotten in these United States And if you ain't gonna fix it then get out of my way!" He said, "I gotta do this, gotta run for President Gotta put my millions where my heart is." Ran against Hubert and Gene McCarthy Give the people a voice though it's breaking up the party Then someone whacked Martin in a state of paranoia Bobby won the primary in the state of California But some crazy mother with an illegal weapon Blew his brains out all over that hotel Don't get mad, just get even Keep on going though your heart is bleeding Love your friends, don't turn your back on your enemies This is the story of a man called Bobby Kennedy So many years since Bobby got offed Nothing to replace him, no one doing the job Don't feed the children, they're costing the moon Weasels in the White House sing a Democratic tune Then I hear him say, "It don't make any sense." You can't balance budgets without a conscience And no one will deliver you from your enemies If you go ahead and give up on all your dreams. Don't get mad, just get even Keep on going though your heart is bleeding Love your friends, don't turn your back on your enemies This is the story of a man called Bobby Kennedy Don't get mad, just get even Keep on going though your heart is bleeding Love your friends, don't turn your back on your enemies This is the story of a man called Bobby Kennedy This is the story of a man called Bobby Kennedy
