What is segregation? 
I don't know what seggeration is.

By now, police motorcycles. Just heard a call on the radio for all 
Units along Industrial, to pick up the 
Motorcade. 
Somethings happened here, we understand there has been a shooting. The 
Presidential car coming up 
Now, we know its the presidential car. We can see Mrs. Kennedys pink 
Suit, there's a Secret Service 
Man spread eagle over the top of the car. We understand governor and 
Mrs. Connolly are in the car, 
With president and Mrs. Kennedy. 
We can't see who has been hit if anybody's been hit, but apparently 
Something is wrong here,

Gone? 
He has freed a lot of people, but it seems the good they die young. 

We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't really matter 
With me now. Because I've been to the 
Mountain top, and I
