Living on through politics 
Body-guarded, heart in bits 
A blue-eyed honesty 
Indigo injury 
The family tree is felled 
Bereavement worn so well 
Giving up on certainty 
Wilderness society 

Wearing the fame like a loaded gun 
Tied up with a rosary 
I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy 

Imagine being a Kennedy 
Rule without remedy 
To watch your family die 
The world loves a sacrifice 
Prophets longing for the three 
Honoring the tragedy 
They hunger for the crime 
The privilege to take a life 

Wearing the fame like a loaded gun 
Tied up with a rosary 
Ooh, I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy 

And is not peace basically 
A matter of human rights? 
The right to live out our lives 
Without fear of devastation? 
The right to breathe air 
As nature provided it? 
The right of future generations 
To a healthy existence? 
Let us if we can step back from 
The shadows of war and seek out 
The way of peace

I love the look in your eyes 
I can see your soul sometimes and we laugh 
When we try too hard we stop and start 
Oh imagine being a Kennedy 
I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy 

Wearing the fame like a loaded gun 
Tied up with a rosary 
I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy 

Imagine being a Kennedy 
Ooh I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy 

The cost of freedom is always high, 
Yet one path we shall never choose 
That is the path of surrender or submission. 
When a man's way please the lord, 
The scriptures tell us, 
He maketh even his enemies 
To be at peace with him'. 
We will not prematurely or unnecessarily 
Risk the course of worldwide nuclear war 
In which even the fruits of victory 
Would be ashes in our mouths 
Ashes in our mouths
Ashes in our mouths
Ashes in our mouths
