lyrics

THE DAY THEY KILLED JO(H)N
(Strider)
The Day They Killed John
I put my Dr. Seuss down
and started to Cry
The Day They Killed John
I saw the Shots explode across Dallas’ sky

So many people Ask and wonder why
They cannot shake that Memory
It’s Burned inside

The Day They Killed John
I put my old Strat down
and started to Die
The Day They Killed John
He was returning with his wife
On the Upper West Side

Sometimes I think that this whole World’s insane
Sometime I still Believe
But that won’t bring Him back again
ooo___

Sometime I find myself at my own Grave
I Hover there
and hear the things
that People never can say to your Face
It’s a Shame___

The Day They Killed Jon
Nobody cared
Nobody cried
The Day They Killed Jon
The Day They Killed Jon
ooo___
