about

A song about the Kennedys

lyrics

joseph died in battle
fighting for a noble cause
johnny assumed his mantle
to make sense of his loss

he should have gone much farther
not pay for sins made by his father
half past twelve central standard time
on a clear november day
CHORUS
camelot came crashing down
our innocence smashed to the ground
and though we've searched
we haven't found
an heir who dares to wear the crown

he rose to lead this mighty nation
"asking not" struck such a nerve
gave hope to a generation
many volunteered to serve
he spoke of living free from fear
the promise of a new frontier
suddenly it disappeared
on a clear november day

CHORUS
camelot came crashing down
our innocence smashed to the ground
and though we've searched
we haven't found
an heir who dares to wear the crown

BRIDGE
Jacqueline left all alone
to raise her children on her own
always wearing her brave face
the epitome of style and grace

robert and poor little john
tried in vain to carry on
in the footsteps of the great
but they met a tragic fate
optimistic aspirations
became fear and desperation
it all leads back to half past twelve
on a clear November day

CHORUS
